Question

Which conclusion follows from the statements with absolute certainty? *
None of the runners is a teacher. All of the attendees are runners
5 points
some drones are teachers
no runners are attendees
teachers are not attendees
all runners are teachers

Answer 1

The conclusion that follows with absolute certainty is- Teachers are not attendees.

• This is a problem of syllogism which needs to be solved by studying all the statements.

• As given, no runners are teachers so no teachers are also runners.

• Since all attendees are runners( so all attendees fall under runners), attendees will share a similar relationship with teachers as that of runners.

Therefore, no teachers are attendees.

This can also be solved using a Venn diagram( as shown in the attached figure).
