UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

The first premise places engineers inside the set of problem solvers, and the second places problem solvers inside the set of creative people. By transitivity of class inclusion, engineers are contained within the set of creative people. This yields the conclusion that all engineers are creative. The direction of inclusion is important: the statements do not claim that all creative people are engineers.

Option A:
Option A correctly follows the chain Engineers ⊆ Problem solvers ⊆ Creative, so Engineers ⊆ Creative. It respects the one-way inclusion implied by the premises.

Option B:
Option B reverses the relationship and claims that every creative person is an engineer, which is much stronger than what is given.

Option C:
Option C might be true in reality, but it is not logically forced by the premises, which say nothing about creative people who are not problem solvers.

Option D:
Option D contradicts the premises, because if all engineers are creative, it cannot be the case that no creative person is an engineer.
