Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming the information in the statements is true, even if it differs from commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s).
Statements: All chairs are tables. Some chairs are desks.
Conclusion (I): Some tables are desks.
Conclusion (II): Some desks are chairs.

Answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C. Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow.
Quick explanation

C — Both follow. The chairs that are desks are also tables, so some tables are desks; and 'some chairs are desks' converts to 'some desks are chairs'.

Detailed solution (in the paper’s original language)

ખ્યાલ અને સમજૂતી

બધી chairs tables છે અને કેટલીક chairs desks છે. જે chairs desks છે તે tables પણ છે; એટલે “કેટલાક tables desks છે” સાચું. એ જ overlapથી “કેટલાક desks chairs છે” પણ સાચું. બંને conclusions અનુસરે છે.

Some A are B ⇒ Some B are A (particular affirmative conversion) માન્ય છે.

બીજા વિકલ્પો કેમ નહીં?

સામાન્ય ભૂલ

“All chairs are tables”માંથી “All tables are chairs” ન કાઢવું.

ઝડપી ટ્રિક

Some A are B ⇒ Some B are A (particular affirmative conversion) માન્ય છે.
