Question 40
Back to Exercise
Statements: Some books are pens. No pen is pencil.
Conclusions:
I. Some books are pencils.
II. No book is pencil.
- A Only conclusion I follows
- B Only conclusion II follows
- C Either I or II follows Correct
- D Neither I nor II follows
- E Both I and II follow
Correct Answer: Option C
As discussed above, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some books are not pencils'. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.
