Statements: Some bags are pockets. No pocket is a pouch. Which of the given conclusions follow?
- No bag is a pouch
- Some bags are not pouches
- Some pockets are bags
- No pocket is a bag
AOnly 1 and 3 follow
BOnly 2 and 3 follow ✓ Correct
COnly either 1 or 4 follows
DNone follows
Correct answer: (B) Only 2 and 3 follow — Conclusions 2 and 3 follow, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Conclusions 2 and 3 follow, so that is the answer.
★Some bags are pockets and no pocket is a pouch, so those pocket-bags are not pouches, giving conclusion 2.
★'Some bags are pockets' converts to 'some pockets are bags', giving conclusion 3.
★Conclusion 1 wrongly claims no bag at all is a pouch, which does not follow.
★The non-pocket bags could still be pouches.
★So the answer is only 2 and 3 follow.
