Conclusion II: Some papers are jugs.

Conclusion III: No radio is a jug.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Let's analyze each conclusion based on the given statements.

Given Statements:

  • Some papers are curtains
  • No radio is a curtain
  • All jugs are papers

Testing Conclusion I: All jugs are curtains

From the statements, we know all jugs are papers. However, only some papers are curtains, not all papers. This means jugs could be in the part of papers that are curtains OR in the part that are not curtains. We cannot conclude that all jugs must be curtains.

Conclusion I does NOT follow.


Testing Conclusion II: Some papers are jugs

The statement says "All jugs are papers." This means every jug is a paper. If jugs exist, then at least some papers must be jugs (since the entire set of jugs is contained within papers).

Conclusion II FOLLOWS.


Testing Conclusion III: No radio is a jug

We know:

  • No radio is a curtain
  • All jugs are papers
  • Some papers are curtains

Just because no radio is a curtain doesn't tell us anything about the relationship between radios and jugs. Radios could potentially be papers (and therefore jugs), or they could be completely separate. We don't have enough information to conclude that no radio is a jug.

Conclusion III does NOT follow.


Only Conclusion II logically follows from the statements.
