1. 5; Some cakes are bread (I) + All breads are toffees (A) = I + A = I = Some cakes are toffees => conversion => Some toffees are cakes. Hence, conclusion I follows.
Again, there is no negative statement. Hence the possibility exists in II.
2. 1 ; T here is no negative statement. So the possibility exists in I. Hence, conclusion I follows.
Again, Some cakes are breads => conversion => Some breads are cakes. Hence, conclusion
II does not follow.
3. 3; No cabin is a room (E) + All rooms are houses (A) = E + A = O* = Some houses are
not ca bins. But conclusion I and II make a complementary pair (I-E). Hence, either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
4.1; All houses (A) = E + A = O* = Some houses are not cabins. Hence, conclusion I follows. Again, All rooms are houses => conversion => Some houses are rooms. Hence,
conclusion II does not follow.
5. 2; All ribbons are mats (A) + Some mats are ropes (I) = A + I = No conclusion. Hence, conclusion I does not follow. Again, No rope is a thread => conversion => No thread is a rope. Hence, conclusion II follows.
6. 4; From I. Meena > Veena > Sunita, Naina
From III. Veena > Sunita > Naina
From I and III.
Meena > Veena > Sunita > Naina. Hence, Naina is the youngest.
7. 3; From I: The woman in the photograph may be Suraj’s wife or Suraj’s brother’s wife.
Fro m I I : Again, Sura j’s wife or Sura j’s brother’s wife.
Hence, either I and III, or II and III are required to reach a certain conclusion, viz the woman is Suraj’s wife.
8. 5; From I. Vidya’s salary is `100 more than Rani’s.
From III. Neelam > Aman
Hence, all are not sufficient to answer the question.
