Q2

Statements : All bags are cakes. All lamps are cakes. Conclusions : I. Some lamps are bags. II. No lamp is bag.

A.
Only conclusion I follows
B.
Only conclusion II follows
C.
Either I or II follows
Answer
D.
Neither I nor II follows
E.
Both I and II follow

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Since the middle term 'cakes' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. So, either I or II follows.
