Directions: The question has a set of four statements. Each statement ...
A is correct. Since no computers crash, and since some stocks crash, these latter stocks can't be computers.
B is incorrect. Since ALL colors are bright, no colors (glow or non-glow) can be other than bright.
C is incorrect. Since footballers that kick are dismissed, those dismissed will include footballers. We don't know whether 'some dismissed' are footballers or not.
D is correct. All those who are funny are singers. Some of the funny people are painters. This clearly implies that some singers must be painters.
Directions: The question has a set of four statements. Each statement ...
To solve this question, let's analyze each statement and determine if the third segment can be logically deduced using both the preceding two segments.
Statement A: No computer crashes. Some that crash are stocks. Some stocks are not computers.
- The first segment states that there are no computer crashes.
- The second segment states that some things that crash are stocks.
- The third segment states that some stocks are not computers.
In this case, the third segment can be deduced from the second segment alone, without needing the first segment. Therefore, statement A does not fulfill the given condition.
Statement B: All colors are bright. Some colors do not glow. Some that glow are not bright.
- The first segment states that all colors are bright.
- The second segment states that some colors do not glow.
- The third segment states that some colors that glow are not bright.
In this case, the third segment cannot be logically deduced using either the first or the second segment alone. It requires both segments to make the deduction. Therefore, statement B fulfills the given condition.
Statement C: Footballers indulge in kicking. Those who kick are dismissed. Some who are dismissed are not footballers.
- The first segment states that footballers indulge in kicking.
- The second segment states that those who kick are dismissed.
- The third segment states that some who are dismissed are not footballers.
In this case, the third segment can be deduced from the first segment alone, without needing the second segment. Therefore, statement C does not fulfill the given condition.
Statement D: Some funny people are painters. All funny people are singers. Some singers are painters.
- The first segment states that some funny people are painters.
- The second segment states that all funny people are singers.
- The third segment states that some singers are painters.
In this case, the third segment cannot be logically deduced using either the first or the second segment alone. It requires both segments to make the deduction. Therefore, statement D fulfills the given condition.
Based on the analysis, the only alternative where the third segment can be logically deduced using both the preceding two segments, but not just from one of them, is option C, which includes statement B and D.
