Possibility Based Question 1:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Possibility Based Question 1 Detailed Solution
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :
Conclusions:
I. No page is a notebook → Does not follow (As all pages are diaries, some diaries are books and all books are notebooks. As no direct relation is given between pages and notebooks, therefore it is false.)
II. All pages are notebooks → Does not follow (As all pages are diaries, some diaries are books and all books are notebooks. So it is possible but not definite.)
III. All diaries being notebooks is a possibility → Follow (As some diaries are books and all books are notebooks. As statement restricts whole diaries from being books therefore it is possible and thus is true.)
∴ Here, Only conclusion III follows.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
Possibility Based Question 2:
Three statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Some tears are drops.
Some drops are streams.
All streams are rivers.
Conclusions:
I. All tears can never be rivers.
II. Some drops are rivers.
III. All tears being streams is a possibility.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Possibility Based Question 2 Detailed Solution
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :
Conclusions:
I. All tears can never be rivers → Does not follow (As some tears are drops, some drops are streams and all streams are rivers. As no direct relation is given between tears and rivers, therefore it is false.)
II. Some drops are rivers → Follow (As some drops are streams and all streams are rivers. As whole streams comes in rivers and has some part common with drops, therefore it is true.)
III. All tears being streams is a possibility → Follow (As some tears are drops, some drops are streams. As no statements restricts tears from being streams, therefore it is possible.)
∴ Here, Both II and III conclusion follow.
Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

II. No bat is a glass → Follow → As all bats are cubes and no cube is a glass. So no bat is a glass is definitely followed because all bats are complete parts of Cubes.
III. All cubes are bats → Does not follow → As all bats are cubes. it is not definite in case of cube to bat as all bat can be cube without all cube being bat. Hence all cubes being bats is a possibility not definite.)
IV. No stone is a glass → Does not follow → As there is no definite relation given between Stone and Glass, we can not derive any conclusion. So no stone is a glass is not followed.
So, Only Conclusion I and II follow.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Possibility Based Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven statements:
Some coats are tables.
No table is a mirror.
All golds are tables.
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements:
Conclusions:
I. Some coats being golds is a possibility → Follow → If the number of golds is equal to the number of tables then the conclusion 'Some coats are golds' follows.
II. No gold is a mirror → Follow → We have 'No table is a mirror' and 'All golds are tables' we can clearly see that no gold can be mirror therefore the conclusion follows.
III. All tables are golds → Does not follow → We do not have any information about all tables and thus we cannot assume for all tables so the conclusion does not follow.
IV. No coat is a mirror → Does not follow → No information is provided between coats & mirrors, we cannot rule out the possibility that some coats are mirror thus the conclusion does not follow.
So only conclusions I and II follow.
Hence, the correct answer is "option 3".
