Question: Directions: Each question has a set of four statements. Each statement has three segments. Choose the alternative where the third segment in the statement can be logically deduced using both the preceding two, but not just from one of them.
A. All IIMs are in India. No BIMs are in India. No IIMs are BIMs.
B. All IIMs are in India. No BIMs are in India. No BIMs are IIMs.
C. Some IIMs are not in India. Some BIMs are not in India. Some IIMs are BIMs.
D. Some IIMs are not in India. Some BIMs are not in India. Some BIMs are IIMs.
(a) ‘A and B’ is the correct answer choice.
A and B are both valid: ‘No IIMs are BIMs’ or its converse,
‘No BIMs are IIMs’ are both equally valid.
II = Institutes in India.
IIMs is a subset of II.
No II is a BIM
As the mainset II can never intersect with the disjoint set BIM, the subset IIM will also never intersect or
coincide with BIM.
C and D are both invalid: The ‘Some IIMs’ and the ‘Some BIMs’ need not have any relationship between them,
just because they are not in India.
