Discussion Forum : Logical Problems - Type 4 (Q.No. 4)
Directions to Solve
The logic problems in this set present you with three true statements: Fact 1, Fact 2, and Fact 3. Then, you are given three more statements (labeled I, II, and III), and you must determine which of these, if any, is also a fact. One or two of the statements could be true; all of the statements could be true; or none of the statements could be true. Choose your answer based solely on the information given in the first three facts.

| Fact 1: | All chickens are birds. |
| Fact 2: | Some chickens are hens. |
| Fact 3: | Female birds lay eggs. |
| I: | All birds lay eggs. |
| II: | Some Hens are birds. |
| III: | Some chickens are not hens. |
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The first statement cannot be true because only female birds lay eggs. Statement II is true because some hens are chickens and all chickens are birds. Statement III is also true because if only some chickens are hens, then some must not be hens.

I think option 3 is only the fact because "some chickens are hens" and we know that"all chickens are birds " so all hens are birds.

Some chickens are hen does not imply that some are not chickens. Statement III is Incorrect.

Only II is correct as we can never derive about NOT from the facts.

I think statement 2 is incorrect, because all hens are bird.
