Question

Read the given statement and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statement is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement.

Statement:

All females of my family are either doctors or teachers.

Conclusions:

1: Mona is a member of my family. She is either a doctor or a teacher.

2: Sonu is a member of my family. He is either a doctor or an engineer.

1. Only Conclusion 2 follows.
2. Both Conclusion 1 and Conclusion 2 follow.
3. Only Conclusion 1 follows.
4. Neither of the two conclusion follows.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Only Conclusion 1 follows.

Conclusions:

1. Mona is a member of my family. She is either a doctor or a teacher → True (As mentioned in the statement that all the females of the family are either doctors or teachers. And, Mona is a female member of the family being either doctor or a teacher is true).

2. Sonu is a member of my family. He is either a doctor or an engineer → False (As Sonu is a male member of the family, there is no information regarding the occupation of male members in the family. So, this conclusion does not follow).

Therefore, only conclusion 1 logically follows the given statement.

Hence, the correct answer is "Only Conclusion 1 follows".
