Statements: I. All apples are bananas. II.No banana is a mango. III. Some mangoes are oranges.Conclusions: I. Some oranges can be bananas. II. Some mangoes are apples.

Correct answer: D. Neither conclusion follows

  • A. Only conclusion (I) follows
  • B. Only conclusion (II) follows
  • C. Both conclusions follow
  • D. Neither conclusion follows

Explanation

Since no banana is a mango, and all apples are bananas, it follows that no apple can be a mango (making Conclusion II false). While some mangoes are oranges, we have no information about the relationship between oranges and bananas, so Conclusion I is uncertain.

About Logical Problems

Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
