Two statements are given below, followed by four conclusions numbered I, II, III and IV. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from the commonly known facts and decide which of the given conclusions logically follow from the given statements.

Statements: Some bottles are drinks. All drinks are cups.

Conclusions:

I. Some bottles are cups

II. Some cups are drinks

III. All drinks are bottles

IV. All cups are drinks.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Some bottles are drinks, and every drink is a cup. Therefore those bottles are also cups, so conclusion 1 follows.

Because some drinks exist and every drink is a cup, some cups are drinks, so conclusion 2 follows.

The reverse universal statements in 3 and 4 do not follow.

Hence only 1 and 2 follow.
