Correct answer: A. Only I
- A. Only I
- B. Only II
- C. I and II
- D. Neither I nor II
Explanation
The statements given are:Some desks are caps.No cap is red.Conclusion I: Some caps are desks. This is a restatement of the first statement and logically follows.Conclusion II: No desk is red. This conclusion does not follow because the statements only specify that caps are not red; there is no information about desks in general, so some desks could potentially be red.Therefore, the only conclusion that logically follows is Conclusion I.

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.
