Directions to Solve

In each of the following questions two statements are given and these statements are followed by two conclusions numbered (1) and (2). You have to take the given two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

Give answer:

  • (A) If only (1) conclusion follows
  • (B) If only (2) conclusion follows
  • (C) If either (1) or (2) follows
  • (D) If neither (1) nor (2) follows and
  • (E) If both (1) and (2) follow.

Statements: Some dogs are bats. Some bats are cats.

Conclusions:

  1. Some dogs are cats.
  2. Some cats are dogs.

Only (1) conclusion follows
Only (2) conclusion follows

I think "I" is right.

As some dog are bats, one can be a dog and can be a bat.
As some bats are cats, one can be a dog, then to a bat, then to a cat
tell me if I am wrong.

The answer is 100% correct.

The conclusion have to verify each venn.

Since here there is no relation shown between cat and dog in figure. Also a relation which is far is not exist.

Can any one tell how to solve the possibility questions?

Vignesh said:   9 years ago
I think the answer will be E.

Because some dogs are cats so in the second diagram some dogs are cats in the picture also some cats are dogs also it is there in the diagram some cars are dogs.

They have mentioned only some right it can be on or 100? So is this answer e.

The 2nd diagram shows the answer is e.

Please give the exact answer for this question.

Thank you so much sundhar.

Here is ans for this question. Just a simple logic.

Always "SOME+SOME" gives answer as = "Neither (i) nor (ii)".

because in TYPE:I there wont be any word get distributed so that this cannot satisfy the three rules

Thanks Sundar.

The basis of solving all such possibilities is to ensure that even if any one of the Venn diagram points to the possibility listed in the question. Hence figure b justifies both possibilities.

So E is correct answer.
