Answer: Option D. -> if neither I nor II follows and

Since both the premises are particular, so no conclusion follows.

Clearly, conclusion I follows from the statements.

  4.    if neither I nor II follows and
  5.    if both I and II follow.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> if neither I nor II follows and

Since both the premises are particular, no conclusion follows as the middle term is

not distributed even once in the premises.

                     Some trees are windows.

Conclusions : I. Some trees are needles. 

                        II. Some trees are not needles.



  1.    if only conclusion I follows;
  2.    if only conclusion II follows;
  3.    if either I or II follows;
  4.    if neither I nor II follows and
  5.    if both I and II follow
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> if only conclusion I follows;

Since one premise is particular, so the conclusion must be particular. Also, since the

term 'needles is distributed in II (O type proposition) without being distributed in

the premises, so, conclusion II cannot follow. Thus, only I follows.


Question 47.

The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions 

numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance

 from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which ofthe given conclusions logically

follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements : All puppets are dolls. 

                      All dolls are toys.

Conclusions : I. Some toys are puppets.

  1.    if only conclusion I follows;
  2.    if only conclusion II follows;
  3.    if either I or II follows;
  4.    if neither I nor II follows and
  5.    if both I and II follow.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> if only conclusion I follows;

Conclusion II, being an A type proposition, distributes the term 'toys'. Since the term

'toys' is distributed in II without being distributed in any of the premises, so

conclusion II cannot follow. So, only I. follows.


Question 48.

The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions 

numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance

 from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which ofthe given conclusions logically

follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

                        II. Some coins are pene.



  1.    if only conclusion I follows;
  2.    if only conclusion II follows;
  3.    if either I or II follows;
  4.    if neither I nor II follows and
  5.    if both I and II follow.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> if neither I nor II follows and

Since the middle term 'crows' is not distributed even once in the premises, so no

conclusion follows.


Question 49.

The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions 

numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance

 from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which ofthe given conclusions logically

follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements :  All apples are oranges. 

                      Some oranges are papayas. 

Conclusions : I. Some apples are papayas.  

                       II. Some papayas are apples.



  1.    if only conclusion I follows;
  2.    if only conclusion II follows;
  3.    if either I or II follows;
  4.    if neither I nor II follows and
  5.    if both I and II follow.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> if neither I nor II follows and

The first premise is A type and distributes the subject. So, the middle term 'oranges'

which forms its predicate, is not distributed

The second premise is I type and does not distribute either subject or predicate. So,

the middle term 'oranges' forming its subject is not distributed

Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, so no conclusion

follows.


Question 50.

The following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions 

numbered I and II. You have to take tfie given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance

 from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which ofthe given conclusions logically

follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

  1.    if only conclusion I follows;
  2.    if only conclusion II follows;
  3.    if either I or II follows;
  4.    if neither I nor II follows and
  5.    if both I and II follow.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> if neither I nor II follows and

The first premise is an A type proposition. So, the middle term 'tables' forming the

predicate is not distributed.

The second premise is an I type proposition. So, the middle term forming the predi-

cate is not distributed. Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the

premises, so no conclusion follows.
