Logical Reasoning with a Story

Read the following story and answer the questions given below:  Title: A Hunter and His Loyal Eagle  Once upon a time, an eagle flew over the high mountains with its companion hunter in the woods. The hunter had been searching for food and water but found nothing. Finally, he came upon a small spring beside a vertical cliff. He was parched and famished. Taking his mug, he went to the spring and collected some water falling from the cliff. Just as he was about to drink, his eagle swooped down and knocked the mug out of his hand. The hunter was both angry and astonished by this behaviour. He tried again to collect water, but the eagle repeated its actions. The hunter, enraged, warned the eagle that if it did so again, he would kill it. Despite the warning, the eagle knocked the mug out of the hunter's hand once more. In a fit of rage, the hunter killed the eagle. Still fuming, he climbed the cliff to get water from the source. When he reached the top, he was shocked to find a de...

Logical Reasoning- Test 15

Choose the correct option of the following:

1. All books are bundles
Some bundles are bags.
All bundles are racks.
Conclusion:
I- Some bundles are racks.
II- All racks are bundles.





ANSWER= (B)   
Explanation:  Only I follows.From statement 3, we can conclude that all bundles are racks, which means some bundles (at least one) are racks. Therefore, conclusion I: "Some bundles are racks" follows logically.
However, conclusion II:
"All racks are bundles" does not necessarily follow. While all bundles are racks, it is possible that there are racks that are not bundles.
The statements don't provide enough information to conclude that all racks are bundles.
So, only conclusion I follows logically.   

2. All amazon are curier.
All courier are doors.
All doors are buildings.
Conclusions:
All amazon being building is a possibility.
Some doors are amazon





ANSWER= (B) Only II follows  
Explanation:  From these statements, we can conclude that:
All Amazon are courier (1)
All courier are doors (2), so all Amazon are doors.
Therefore, conclusion II: "Some doors are Amazon" follows logically, since all Amazon are doors.
However, conclusion I: "All Amazon being building is a possibility" does not necessarily follow. While all doors are buildings, it's possible that not all Amazon are buildings (maybe some Amazon are doors that are not buildings).
So, only conclusion II follows logically.

Q.1 If there are clouds in the sky and it looks to be raining shortly. Jeany leaves for his office 15 minutes earlier due to bad whether condition on his own motorbike, but he doesn't reach his office in time. Jeremy reaches in time as he goes to office by bus. Conclutions: I- Everyone should go to office on buses. II- Motorcycle is not good to go to offices. A) I follows B) II follows C) Both I and II follows D) Neither I nor II follows. Explanation: The correct answer is D) Neither I nor II follows. The passage only states that Jeany was late due to riding his motorbike in bad weather, while Jeremy arrived on time by taking the bus. It does not provide enough evidence to support the assumptions that: I) Everyone should go to office on buses (maybe some people prefer other modes of transportation also) II) Motorcycle is not good to go to offices (maybe the issue was just the bad weather, not the motorcycle itself. It might have some other issues.) Thus the passage only presents a ...
