• B.
• C.

Hint:

In logical reasoning questions, always pay attention to the quantifiers (e.g., "some," "all," "none") in the statement and conclusions. A conclusion must directly follow from the given statement without assuming additional information.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Given the statement "Some dogs are cats," this implies that there is at least one dog that is a cat, but not all dogs are cats, and not all cats are dogs. Let's analyze the conclusions: - Conclusion 1: "Some cats are dogs" - This conclusion is true because the statement says "some dogs are cats," which implies that some cats can also be dogs. - Conclusion 2: "All cats are dogs" - This conclusion is false because the statement does not support the idea that all cats are dogs. It only mentions that some dogs are cats, not the reverse. - Conclusion 3: "All dogs are cats" - This conclusion is false because the statement does not say that all dogs are cats; it only states that some dogs are cats. - Conclusion 4: "No dogs are cats" - This conclusion is false because the statement explicitly says "Some dogs are cats," which contradicts this conclusion. Thus, only Conclusion 1 is true, and the correct answer is (A).
