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 conclusion(s) logically follows/follow from the statements. Statements:Some flowers are fruits.All fruits are vegetables.Some vegetables are healthy. Conclusions:I. All fruits are healthy.II. Some vegetables are flowers.
- AOnly conclusion II follows.
- BNeither conclusion I nor II follows.
- CBoth conclusions I and II follow.
- DOnly conclusion I follows.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the conclusions using Venn diagrams or logical deductions: Statement 1 + Statement 2: "Some flowers are fruits" + "All fruits are vegetables" implies that the part of flowers that are fruits must also be vegetables. Thus, Some vegetables are flowers is definitely true. Therefore, Conclusion II follows.Statement 3: "Some vegetables are healthy". This does not give any definite information connecting all fruits to being healthy. Thus, Conclusion I ("All fruits are healthy") does not follow.Hence, only conclusion II follows.
