NIMCET Previous Year PYQ NIMCET NIMCET 2025 PYQ

Solution

Answer: Neither conclusion follows.

Reasoning:
From “Some men are great” and “Some men are wise,” we only know there exists at least one great man and at least one wise man (they may be the same or different).

Conclusion 1 (“All men are great or wise”) is not guaranteed—there could be men who are neither.
Conclusion 2 (“Some men are neither great nor wise”) is also not guaranteed—it's possible every man is in great or wise (or both).

NIMCET Previous Year PYQ NIMCET NIMCET 2025 PYQ

Solution

Answer: (1) Some teachers are not Mathematicians — NOT valid.

Easy check:

Teacher ⇒ College Graduate, and no graduate is poor ⇒ Teachers are not poor → (4) valid.
All Poets are poor; graduates aren’t poor ⇒ Poets aren’t teachers → (3) valid.
Some Mathematicians are Poets ⇒ they’re poor ⇒ not graduates ⇒ not teachers → (2) valid.
(1) doesn’t follow: we’re told nothing about teachers vs mathematicians (and there might even be no teachers). Hence (1) is not a valid conclusion.

Only Conclusion II follows.

Reason: All cakes ⊆ ice cream and no ice cream is chocolate ⇒ no cake is chocolate.

So I is false, II is true.

NIMCET Previous Year PYQ NIMCET NIMCET 2025 PYQ

Solution

Answer: Both conclusions follow.

Why:
From “All apples are fruits” and “All fruits are tasty,” it follows that all apples are tasty (I).
And from “All apples are tasty,” we can validly infer the particular statement some tasty things are apples (II), via valid conversion of a universal affirmative (“All A are B ⟹ Some B are A”).

Qus : 21 NIMCET PYQ

NIMCET Previous Year PYQ NIMCET NIMCET 2025 PYQ

Solution

Answer: Only Conclusion 1 follows.

Reasoning:
Given “All engineers are good at math” ($E \to M$):

It implies some good-at-math people are engineers (since at least one engineer would then be in the math-good group) → Conclusion 1 follows.
It does not imply everyone good at math is an engineer ($M \to E$ is not guaranteed) → Conclusion 2 does not follow.
