Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyze the statements and conclusions.
We are given two statements:

- (1) Some players are singers.

- (2) All singers are tall.
From statement (1), we know that some players belong to the group of singers. From statement (2), we are told that all singers are tall. This implies that some players who are singers are also tall. However, it does not logically mean that all players are tall, as only the players who are singers are tall, not all players.
Step 2: Analyze the conclusions.
- Conclusion I: Some players are tall. This conclusion is valid because some players (those who are singers) are tall. Thus, conclusion I follows.
- Conclusion II: All players are tall. This conclusion does not follow because the information only tells us that some players (those who are singers) are tall, not that all players are tall. Therefore, conclusion II does not follow.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (A) if only conclusion I follows, as conclusion I is valid while conclusion II is not.
