AOnly I follows
BOnly II follows
CBoth I and II follow

BOnly II follows
CBoth I and II follow

All innovators are risk-takers. Some risk-takers are not successful. Conclusions: I. Some innovators are not successful. II. All innovators are unsuccessful. Which conclusion(s) follow?
AOnly I follows
BOnly II follows
CBoth I and II follow
DNeither I nor II follows
Correct Answer:  D. Neither I nor II follows
EXPLANATION

All innovators are risk-takers, but 'some risk-takers are not successful' doesn't tell us which risk-takers. Innovators might be the successful ones. So I doesn't follow. II clearly doesn't follow.

Q.4 Medium Syllogism 22 Apr 2026
In a row of 8 people, A is 3rd from the left. B is 2 positions to the right of A. C is at one end. How many people are between B and C?
A2
B3
C4
D5
Correct Answer:  B. 3
EXPLANATION

A is 3rd from left. B is 2 positions right of A, so B is at 5th position. C is at one end (either 1st or 8th). If C is 1st, people between = 3 (positions 2,3,4). If C is 8th, people between = 2 (positions 6,7). Most likely C at 1st = 3 people between.

Test
Q.5 Medium Syllogism 22 Apr 2026
All programmers are tech-savvy. Some tech-savvy people are introverts. Conclusions: I. Some programmers are introverts. II. All introverts are programmers. Which conclusion(s) follow?
AOnly I follows
BOnly II follows
CBoth I and II follow
DNeither I nor II follows
Correct Answer:  D. Neither I nor II follows
EXPLANATION

From 'All programmers are tech-savvy' and 'Some tech-savvy people are introverts', we cannot deduce that some programmers are introverts (they could be different tech-savvy people). II is clearly false as introverts are not necessarily programmers.
