Solution (By Examveda Team)
Okay, let's break down this syllogism question!First, let's understand what a syllogism is. It's like a logical puzzle where we have some statements that we assume are true, and then we have to figure out if the conclusions are also true based on those statements.
Our statements are:
* Some raises are promotions.
* All promotions are hikes.
* All hikes are advances.
Now let's look at the conclusions one by one:
Conclusion I: Some hikes are raises.
Think of it like this: If "All promotions are hikes," and "Some raises are promotions," then it means some of those raises *must* also be hikes. Imagine drawing circles. If the 'raises' circle slightly overlaps the 'promotions' circle, and the 'promotions' circle is completely inside the 'hikes' circle, then part of the 'raises' circle must also be inside the 'hikes' circle. So, this conclusion is TRUE.
Conclusion II: Some advances are not promotion.
This one is a bit trickier. We know "All hikes are advances" and "All promotions are hikes" so all promotions are advances. this means the entire 'promotion' circle is inside the 'advances' circle. So, is it possible that *some* advances are NOT promotions?. Let's use the circle method again we can say that some of the advances are not promotions because hikes may contain others things except the promotions so this conclusion is TRUE
So, Conclusion I is TRUE, and Conclusion II is also TRUE.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Option E: Both I and II follows
This Question Belongs to Competitive Reasoning >> Syllogisms
when all the statements are positive ...in conclusion negative will be always not follow.
that is why 2nd does not follows
Answer of the question is wrong. Only 1 will be followed
some advances are not promotion , How is this conclusion follows ?? here is nothing negative is mentioned in the question...
conclusion 2 does not follow
Why ans E this only 1 follow how follow hike and promotion under advances so some advance definatly some promotion
Only 1 would be the correct answer.
Only i follows. Positisive statement must have positive conclusion
Only 1 is the correct answer
Both 1 and 2 how can possible
Only 1 Follows
Only 1 follows.
Some advances are not promotion is a possibility
Only 1 follow
Only 1 fallows
Only 2 fallows
Yes only 1 follows
Only 1st follow , because ++ positive conclusion hoga, 2nd negative hai
Only conclusion 1 fallows..
Only conclusion I follows
Only 1 follows as it is clearly mentioned that all promotions are hikes and all hikes are advances so it is obvious that all promotions will be advances.
only conclusion 1 follows
F
only 1 follow
How come both conclusion follows?
@Jyoti mine too just conclusion I follows.
Can you explain this question @Jyoti? Why only one follow?
please reconsider the answer. only 1st conclusion should follow.
