100+ Logical Reasoning Questions for SSC Exams - 2
Question: 6
Statements :
I. All puppets are dolls.
II. All dolls are toys.
Conclusions :
I. Some toys are puppets.
II. All toys are puppets.
(A) If only conclusion I follows
(B) If only conclusion II follows
(C) If either I or II follows
(D) If neither I nor II follows and
(E) If both I and II follow
Ans: A
Conclusion II being an A type proposition, distributes the term ‘toys’. Since the term ‘toys’ is distributed in II without being distributed in any of the premises, so conclusion II cannot follow. So, only I follows.
Question: 7
Statements :
I. All hill stations have a sun set point.
II. X is a hill station.
Conclusions :
I. X has a sun set point.
II. Places other than hill stations do not have sun set points.
(A) If only conclusion I follows
(B) If only conclusion II follows
(C) If either I or II follows
(D) If neither I nor II follows and
(E) If both I and II follow
Ans: A
Since both the premises are affirmative, the conclusion must be affirmative. So, only conclusion I follows.
Question: 8
Statements :
I. All mens are dogs.
II. All dogs are cats.
Conclusions :
I. All men are cats.
II. All cats are men.
(A) If only conclusion I follows
(B) If only conclusion II follows
(C) If either I or II follows
(D) If neither I nor II follows and
(E) If both I and II follow
Ans: A
Since both the premises are affirmative, the conclusion must be affirmative. However, conclusion II being an A type proposition, distributes the term ‘goats’. Since the term ‘goats’ is distributed in II without being distributed in any of the premises, so conclusion II cannot follow. Thus, only I follows.
Question: 9

I. Some dogs bark.
II. All dogs bite.
Conclusions :
I. Those dogs who do not bark, also bite.
II. Those dogs who do not bark, not necessarily bite.
(A) If only conclusion I follows
(B) If only conclusion II follows
(C) If either I or II follows
(D) If neither I nor II follows and
(E) If both I and II follow
Ans: A
Clearly, conclusion I follows from the statements.

(A) If only conclusion I follows
(B) If only conclusion II follows
(C) If either I or II follows
(D) If neither I nor II follows and
(E) If both I and II follow
Ans: A
Since one premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative. Conclusion II cannot follow as it contains the middle term. So, only conclusion I follows.
