II. U=K
Explanation:
1). All hurdles are jobs (A) + Some jobs are works (I) = A + I = No conclusion. But the possibility in I exists. Hence conclusion I follows.
Again, Some tasks are hurdles (I) + All hurdles are jobs (A) = I + A = I = Some tasks are jobs (I) + Some jobs are works (I) = I + I = No conclusion.
Hence II does not follow.
Answer: a)
2). Some tasks are hurdles (I) + All hurdles are jobs (A) = I + A = I = Some tasks are jobs (I) àconversion à Some jobs are tasks (I). Hence conclusion I follows. But conclusion II does not follow.
Answer: a)
3). No solution is a trick (E) à conversion à No trick is a solution (E). Now, All rules are tricks (A) + No trick is a solution (E) = A + E = E = No rule is a solution (E). Hence conclusion I follows.
Again, Some problems are solutions (I) + No solution is a trick (E) = I + E = O = Some problems are not tricks (O). Hence conclusion II follows.
Answer: a)
4). All ministers are deans (A) + Some deans are heads (I) = A + I = No conclusion. But the possibility in II exists. Hence conclusion II follows.
However, there is no negative statement. Thus the negative conclusion does not follow. Hence conclusion I does not follow.
Answer: b)
5). Some queues are rows (I) àconversion à Some rows are queues (I) + No queue is a line (E) = I + E = O = Some rows are not lines. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Answer: c)
6). Given statements:
P < L ≤ A = N ≥ E ≥ D …(i)
Q ≥ N < O …(ii)
From (i), We Can't compare L and E. Hence conclusion I (L ≤ E) is not true.
Now, combining (i) and (ii), we get P < L ≤ A = N ≤ Q
Thus, P < Q is true. Hence conclusion II is true.
Answer: b)
7). Given statements:
P ≤ U = N ≤ C ≥ H > S …(i)
K ≥ C …(ii)
From (i), P ≤ C is true. Hence conclusion I is true.
Again, from (i), we can't compare U and ,H. Hence II (U > H) is not true.
Answer: a)
8). Given statements:
P < L ≤ A = N ≥ E ≥ D …(i)
Q ≥ N < O …(ii)
Thus, combining (i) and (ii), we get
Q ≥ N ≥ E ≥ D
Thus, Q ≥ D is true. Hence conclusion I is true.
Again, from (i), A ≥ D is true. But conclusion II (A < D) is not true.
Answer: a)
9). Given statement:
D ≥ I > S ≥ M ≤ A < L
Thus, we can't compare D and A. Hence conclusion I (D ≥ A) is not true.
Again, we can't compare I and L. Hence conclusion II (L > I) is not true.
Answer: c)
10). Given statements:
P ≤ U = N ≤ C ≥ H …(i)
K ≥ C ….(ii)
Combining both the statements, we get
P ≤ U = N ≤ C ≥ H …(I)
Thus, U ≤ K or K ≥ U is true. Hence either conclusion I or II is true.
Answer: e)
