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. All vases are bottles.II. All bottles are flasks.III. All flasks are cups.Conclusions:I. Some cups are bottles.II. All vases are flasks.

  1. A
    Both conclusions I and II follow
  2. B
    Only conclusion I follows
  3. C
    Neither conclusion I nor II follows
  4. D
    Only conclusion II follows

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's evaluate the statements using a Venn diagram structure or logical deduction: From I and II: Since All vases are bottles, and All bottles are flasks, we can conclude that All vases are flasks. Thus, Conclusion II is definitely true.From II and III: All bottles are flasks, and All flasks are cups, which implies All bottles are cups. If all bottles are cups, it naturally follows that Some cups are bottles. Thus, Conclusion I is definitely true.Therefore, both conclusions I and II follow.
