Statements:Some pastries are toffees. All toffees are chocolates.Conclusions:I. Some chocolates are toffees.II. Some toffees are not pastries.Which of the following is/are most appropriate in the above scenario?
Correct answer: C. I and II
- A. Only I
- B. Only II
- C. I and II
- D. I and II are inappropriate
Explanation
The correct answer is Option C: I and II. Conclusion I is correct because if all toffees are chocolates, then naturally some chocolates must be toffees. Conclusion II is also correct since the statement 'Some pastries are toffees' does not imply all toffees are pastries, leaving room for some toffees not being pastries. Therefore, both conclusions logically follow from the given 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.
