Verbal Reasoning - Syllogism - Discussion

Hi Friends,

When there is no direct relationship given between two statements then the following conclusion is always wrong. In this question, there is no direct relationship given between radio and table and hence conclusions 1 and 2 are false, 3 and 4th are very straight forward. However, you may think that there is a possibility that few radios are the table and vice versa but in that case word possible should be in conclusion (like is it possible that few tables can be radios) normally it doesn't have so I don't think you should take it as the true statement.

Thanks.

In the above question, it is not compulsory that the remaining tables are radios.

It can be something else. In the same way, it is not compulsory that the remaining radios are tables.

So 1 and 2 not possible. And in 3 & 4 are talking about all radio and TV, whereas in question it's only about few. So E is the correct option.

According to the syllogism rule, if the given two statements are particular, then no conclusion follows. Since in the given two statements, both the statements are particular, (i.e) both begins with 'some'. Hence no conclusion follows. So, none of the four is the correct option.

I think the given answer is right. Compare answers come from both the figures. And if both figures gives same answer then it is considered as final answer otherwise not. And in this case fig 1 and fig 2 doesn't give same answer. That's why option is E.

@Sabir and @Harry are correct.

If we solve with second diagram the total answer changes. If so what is the use the second one? else if second diagram holds the value?

Then how come (E) will be the answer? What about first diagram then?

Please explain which figure we have to use to deduce result. Tell me the importance of these two figures. ?

According to figure 1- answer is (E) and according to figure 2 answer is different.

Please let me know which is correct answer, and which diagram must be used to decide the answer.

According to 1st diagram option D is correct but according to 2nd diagram option varies.

@Sanjay.

In that case, the option of only 1 and 2 will be the correct answer. The best way to approach this is to apply the Venn Diagram Method.

I totally agree with your answer @Bala.

For the same question stated above what if they had given an option as ("only 1 and 2") and also the option ("None of These ") what would have been the answer then?

Answer is correct. According to figure 2 we get conclusion 1 & 2 follows but its not in option (only 1 & 2 follows). So none of the four is correct.
