All that glitters is gold. No gold is silver.

Question

All that glitters is gold. No gold is silver.

Regarding the above statement, which claims are true?

CLAIMS :

• No silver glitters.
• Some gold glitters.

---

I drew Venn diagram for the following and got both the claims true.

But I don't have the answer for this. Am I right here or missing something ?

Answer 1

1. No silver glitters is true, for if silver were to glitter it would be gold, but we are told it is not. So, silver does not glitter.

2. We can't tell whether some gold glitters is true or not on the basis of the premises. For all we know, there is nothing that glitters! The second claim can be true or false. Not enough information has been provided.
