Statements: All the students passed the examination. Some students are girls. Which of the given conclusions follow?
- Some boys passed the examination
- All the girls failed the examination
- None of the boys passed the examination
- None of the girl students failed the examination
AOnly 1 and 2 follow
BOnly 2 and 3 follow
COnly 1, 2 and 3 follow
DNone of the above ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) None of the above — None of the listed combinations follows, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★None of the listed combinations follows, so that is the answer.
★All students passed, so no student failed, including the girls.
★So conclusion 4, 'none of the girl students failed', actually follows.
★But conclusions 1, 2 and 3 do not follow from the premises.
★Since the valid conclusion 4 is not in options one to three, none of those combinations is correct.
★So the answer is none of the above.
