Question

Statement: All apples are fruits. Some fruits are bananas.
Conclusion I: All apples are bananas.
Conclusion II: Some fruits are not bananas.
Choose the correct option:

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

Hint:

In syllogisms, only draw conclusions that are logically necessary based on the given statements. Avoid assumptions beyond what's directly stated.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyze Conclusion I.
The statement says All apples are fruits and Some fruits are bananas. But there is no connection established between apples and bananas. Therefore, we cannot conclude that All apples are bananas. Hence, Conclusion I does not follow.
Step 2: Analyze Conclusion II.
The statement says Some fruits are bananas. This means at least some fruits are bananas, but nothing is mentioned about the rest. So, we cannot say Some fruits are not bananas. Hence, Conclusion II also does not follow.
