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

Conclusion I directly contradicts the first statement. The statements establish that cities and countries are separate, and countries and villages are separate. However, there is no information given about the relationship between cities and villages, so we cannot definitively conclude that no villages are cities.

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.
