Q8
Statements : All flowers are trees. No fruit is tree. Conclusions : I. No fruit is flower. II. Some trees are flowers.
A.
Only conclusion I follows
B.
Only conclusion II follows
C.
Either I or II follows
D.
Neither I nor II follows
E.
Both I and II follow
AnswerAnswer: Option E
Solution
Answer: Option E
Solution:
As discussed above, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No flower is fruit'. I is the converse of this conclusion and thus it follows. II is the converse of the first premise and so it also holds.
