Statements:Some bags are pockets. No pocket is a pouch.Conclusions:I. No bag is a pouch.II. Some bags are not pouches.III. Some pockets are bags.IV. No pocket is a bag.Which of the following is/are most appropriate in the above scenario?
Correct answer: D. Only Conclusions II and III follow
- A. Only Conclusion I follows
- B. Only Conclusion II follows
- C. Only Conclusion III follows
- D. Only Conclusions II and III follow
Explanation
After analyzing the given statements, we find:Conclusion II: Some bags are not pouches. This follows because some bags are indeed pockets, and since no pocket is a pouch, these bags cannot be pouches.Conclusion III: Some pockets are bags. This follows directly from the first statement, confirming that some bags are pockets.Therefore, Conclusions II and III follow, making option C the correct choice. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly identify the conclusions that logically follow from the statements.

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.
