The distance of 900 km by road between Bombay and Jafra will be reduced to 280 km by sea. This will lead to a saving of Rs. 7.92 crores per annum on fuel.

Conclusions:

Transportation by sea is cheaper than that by road.
Fuel must be saved to the greatest extent.

Answer: (b). If only conclusion II follows.

Explanation:

According to the statement, sea transport is cheaper than road transport in the case of a route from Bombay to Jafra, but not in all cases. So, in conclusion, I do not follow. The statement stresses the saving of fuel. So, conclusion II follows.

2. Statement:

A good voice is a natural gift, but one has to keep practising to improve and excel in music.

Conclusion:

Natural gifts need nurturing and care.
Even though your voice is not good, you can keep practising.

Answer: (a). If only the Conclusion I follow.

Explanation:

Clearly, I follow directly from the given statement. However, II is unrelated to the given statement and does not follow.

3. Statement:

Domestic demand has been increasing faster than the production of indigenous crude oil.

Conclusions:

Crude oil must be imported.
Domestic demand should be reduced.

Answer: (c). If either I or II follows.

Explanation:

The statement mentions that oil demand is increasing faster than production. So, the demand must be reduced, or oil must be imported to cope with the increasing demand. Thus, either I or II follows.

4. Statement:

All organized people find time for rest. Sunita, despite her hectic schedule, finds time for rest.

Conclusions:

Sunita is an organized person.
Sunita is an industrious person.

Answer: (e). If both I and II follow.

Sunita has a hectic schedule. This means that she is industrious. But still, she finds time for rest. This means that she is an organized person. So, both I and II follow.

5. Statements:

This book, 'Z', is the only book that focuses on the problem of poverty in India between 1950 and 1980.

Answer: (b). If only conclusion II follows.

Explanation:

The phrase 'only book' in the statement makes II implicit. However, nothing about the state of poverty before 1950 can be deduced from the statement. So, I do not follow.

MH CET Law Logical Reasoning Questions on Syllogism

Question: Direction Question: Given questions contain four arguments of three sentences each. Choose the set in which the third statement is a logical conclusion of the first two.

(1). Some bikes are mopeds. All mopeds are scooters. some bikes are scooters

(2). All children are hair. No hair is red. No children are red.

(3). No pencil is a pen. Some pens are markers. Some pencils are markers.

(4). Every man has a wife. All wives are devoted. No devoted has a husband.

(a) (1), (2), and (3)

(b) (1) and (2).

(d) (1), (2), (3), and (4)

Answer: (b) (1) and (2).

Explanation:

The first step to solving the syllogism question is to read the direction given in the question very carefully and understand the meaning of each word.

And in this question, it is given that there are four arguments of three statements each.

And we have to choose the set in which the third statement is a logical conclusion of the first two.

Now, look at the first argument and find whether the third statement is a logical conclusion of the first two or not.

1. Some bikes are mopeds. All mopeds are scooters. some bikes are scooters

So, as we can see in the above Venn diagram, the third statement of the first argument is a logical conclusion of the first two statements, i.e. some bikes are scooters.

So, in this case, the 1 conclusion follows.

Now the second argument,

2. All children are hair. No hairs are red. No children are red.

As the statement says that no hairs are red and all children are hair, it is evident that if all children are hair and no hairs are red, the third statement, no children are red, follows because there is no relation between children and red also.

So, as we can see in the above Venn diagram, the third statement of the second argument is a logical conclusion of the first two statements, i.e. no children are red.

So, in this case, the 2 conclusions follow.

Now the third argument,

3. No pencil is a pen. Some pens are markers. Some pencils are markers.

As the statement says that no pencil is a pen and some pens are markers, it is evident that if no pencil is a pen. Some pens are markers so the third statement some pencils are markers does not follow because there is no relation between pencils and markers as given in the statements.

So, as we can see in the above Venn diagram, the third statement of the third argument is not a logical conclusion to the first two statements.

So, in this case, the 3 conclusions do not follow.

So, after finding the answers to all three arguments, we can use the elimination method. This method will help us to save time, and we do not have to solve the fourth argument.

(a) So, as per the options given, we can easily eliminate the (a), (c), (d) options which have the (3) argument in their option, and the third argument does not follow so in that case, the answer will be an option (b) which says that option (1) and (2) follow which is true.
