Paper 1 · Logical Reasoning
Statements: No villager owns a car. Shankar owns a car. Choose the conclusion(s) that logically follow.
- I. Shankar lives in a town
- II. Shankar owns a car
AOnly conclusion I follows
BOnly conclusion II follows
CBoth conclusions I and II follow
DNeither conclusion I nor II follows ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Neither conclusion I nor II follows — Neither conclusion follows, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Neither conclusion follows, so that is the answer.
★Shankar owns a car, so he is not a villager, but that does not place him in a town.
★A non-villager could live in many other kinds of places, so conclusion I does not follow.
★Conclusion II merely repeats a given premise rather than inferring anything new.
★A restated premise is not a valid conclusion in such problems.
★So neither conclusion follows.
