Question

Two statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II, and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. 
Statements: 1. All utensils are spoons. 
2. All bowls are spoons. 
Conclusions: I. No utensil is a bowl. II. Some utensils are bowls. III. No spoon is a utensil.

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Conclusions I and III follow
• C. Either conclusion I or II follows
• D. Only conclusion III follows

Hint:

When dealing with such logical questions, carefully analyze the relationships between the terms and avoid contradictions in the statements.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: From the statements: - All utensils are spoons. - All bowls are spoons. 
Step 2: We can see that since all bowls are spoons and all utensils are spoons, it's possible that some utensils are bowls. Hence, conclusion II can be true. Conclusion I states that no utensil is a bowl, which contradicts the possibility that some utensils may be bowls. Therefore, conclusion I does not follow. Thus, the correct answer is that either conclusion I or II follows, making \( \boxed{{C}} \).
