Question

Two statements are given:
1. All snakes are reptiles
2. Some tigers eat grass
Conclusions:
I. No snake is a reptile
II. All tigers eat grass

• A. only conclusion I follows
• B. only conclusion II follows
• C. neither conclusion I nor Conclusion II follow
• D. both conclusions I and II follow

Hint:

Be careful with the scope of statements. "All", "some", and "no" have very specific logical meanings. Don't overgeneralize!

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Given:
- All snakes are reptiles (universal positive statement).
- Some tigers eat grass (particular affirmative). Conclusion I: No snake is reptile.
This contradicts the first statement directly, so it is false. Conclusion II: All tigers eat grass.
This generalizes the second statement, which only says "Some tigers..." – so it is also false. Therefore, neither conclusion logically follows from the given statements.
