Question

From the given statements, what conclusion can be made?
Statements: Some men are wise
                    All wise are professors
Conclusion I: Some men are professors.
                    II: All professors are wise

• A. Only I follows
• B. Only II follows
• C. I and II follows
• D. Either I or II follows

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine the conclusion, we need to analyze the given statements logically:
Statements:
1. Some men are wise.
2. All wise are professors.

We need to evaluate the provided conclusions:
Conclusion I: Some men are professors.
Conclusion II: All professors are wise.

Analysis:

• The first statement "Some men are wise" means there exists a subset of men who possess wisdom.
• The second statement "All wise are professors" indicates that every individual who is wise also fits into the category of professors.

Combining these, since some men are wise and all wise people are professors, this logically leads to: Some men are indeed professors. Thus, Conclusion I follows.
However, Conclusion II states "All professors are wise," which is not logically derivable from the given statements. Just because all wise are professors does not mean all professors are wise (the latter set could include other individuals as well).

Conclusion: Only Conclusion I follows. Therefore, the answer is: Only I follows.
