Question

In each question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions I and II. Decide which of the following holds. 
Statements: 
1) Some lamps are flowers 
2) Some flowers are trees 
Conclusions: 
I) All lamps are trees 
II) All trees are flowers 
 

• A. I follows
• B. II follows
• C. Both I and II follow
• D. Neither I nor II follow

Hint:

Always analyze the logical relationship between statements and conclusions. Do not assume information that is not directly stated.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To determine which conclusions follow from the given statements, let's analyze the logical relationships:
Statements:
1. Some lamps are flowers
2. Some flowers are trees

Conclusions:
I) All lamps are trees
II) All trees are flowers

Let's evaluate each conclusion:
Conclusion I: All lamps are trees
The statement "Some lamps are flowers" indicates a partial relationship, and "Some flowers are trees" also indicates a partial relationship. There is no information connecting all lamps directly to trees, so this conclusion does not logically follow from the given statements.

Conclusion II: All trees are flowers
The statement "Some flowers are trees" only establishes that there is an overlap between the sets of flowers and trees. It doesn't mean all trees are flowers; this conclusion is also not logically supported.

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follow
