Question

Statements: All lawyers are educate(d) Some educated people are engineers.
Conclusions:
I. Some lawyers are engineers.
II. Some engineers are educate(d)

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

Hint:

Use Venn diagrams to test syllogistic conclusions, checking each independently.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

We need to evaluate which conclusions follow logically.
- Step 1: Analyze statements:
- All lawyers are educated (All L are E).
- Some educated people are engineers (Some E are En).
- Step 2: Use Venn diagrams:
- Lawyers (L) are a subset of educated (E).
- Some educated (E) overlap with engineers (En).
- Step 3: Conclusion I: "Some lawyers are engineers." No direct link between L and En; the overlap between E and En doesn’t guarantee L overlaps En. I does not follow.
- Step 4: Conclusion II: "Some engineers are educate(d)" Since some E are En, some En are E. II follows.
- Step 5: Options: Only II follows.
Thus, the answer is b.
