Tanushree is a dancer. Dancers are young ladies. Conclusions: (a) All young ladies are dancers. (b) All dancers are young ladies. (c) Tanushree is not young and hence not a dancer. (d) Tanushree is young lady dancer.
- a.a
- b.b
- c.c
- d.d
Answer: (D) d
From 'Tanushree is a dancer' and 'Dancers are young ladies' it follows that Tanushree is a young lady who is a dancer, i.e. conclusion (d), the answer the key takes. Conclusion (a) is the invalid converse (all dancers are young ladies does not mean all young ladies are dancers), and (c) contradicts the statements. Conclusion (b) only repeats the second statement; the key prefers (d) because it combines both statements.
