How to find True or False and Uncertain Answer

Q.1 If school A has a greater number of admissions than that of school B. School C has fewer admissions than B. School D has greater admissions than School B. 

If the first two statements are true then the third statement is _______

A) True 

B) False

C) Uncertain 

D) Unresolved 

The answer is C) 

Explanation: There is no comparison of school D in the first two statements, so school D can have more or lesser number of admissions than B

Now let's have the same question for the third different statement: 

Q.2 If school A has a greater number of admissions than that of school B. School C has a lesser number of admissions than B. School B has greater admissions than School A. 

If the first two statements are true than the third statement is _______

A) True 

B) False

C) Uncertain 

D) Unresolved 

The answer is B) 

A > B

B > C

B > A

According to the fist two statements B cannot have the greater number of admissions, 

so the answer is B) False

A) True 

B) False

C) Uncertain 

D) Unresolved 

The answer is A) 

Explanation:

According to the first two statements A > B and B > C. So School A has a greater number of admissions than School C. You can fit the relation in the statement in the above-given statements.


Q.4 Statements 

All bats are balls.

All balls are basketballs

All baseballs are baskets

Conclusions:

I- Some of balls are basket is a possiblity. 

II- All baskets are baseball 

A) Only I follows  

B) Only II follows

C) Neither I nor II follow

D) Either I or II follows  

Explanation:

Some balls are basketballs (from statement 2)

Some baseballs are baskets (from statement 3)

Therefore, some balls (which are basketballs) could also be baseballs, making a statement I 

"Some balls are baskets" is a possibility.

However, there is no logical connection to conclude that "All baskets are baseballs" (statement II), as the statements only establish a relationship between bats and balls, and baseballs and baskets, but not between baskets and baseballs.

So, the answer is A) Only I follows
