Q45
Statements : All men are dogs. All dogs are cats. Conclusions : I. All men are cats. II. All cats are men.
A.
Only conclusion I follows
AnswerB.
Only conclusion II follows
C.
Either I or II follows
D.
Neither I nor II follows
E.
Both I and II follow
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative. However, conclusion II, being an A-type proposition, distributes the term 'cats'. Since the term 'cats' is distributed in II without being distributed in any of the premises, so conclusion II cannot follow. Thus, only I follows.
