In this question, three statements are given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follows/follow from the statements.Statements:I. No forest is a jungle.II. All hills are jungles.III. All orchards are hills.Conclusions:I. All orchards are jungles.II. No forest is a hill.
- AOnly conclusion II follows
- BBoth conclusions I and II follow
- CNeither conclusion I nor II follows
- DOnly conclusion I follows
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's perform step-by-step logical analysis: From statement II ("All hills are jungles") and statement III ("All orchards are hills"), we can conclude using a syllogistic chain that All orchards are jungles. Hence, Conclusion I logically follows.From statement I ("No forest is a jungle") and statement II ("All hills are jungles"), since all hills lie entirely inside jungles, no forest can touch a hill. Therefore, No forest is a hill is definitely true. Hence, Conclusion II logically follows.Both conclusions I and II follow.
