Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.Statements:All cabbages are beetroots. Some cabbages are carrots. Conclusions: I. Some beetroots are cabbages. II. Some beetroots are carrots.

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

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the statements using standard Venn sets: "All cabbages are beetroots" implies the Cabbages set lies completely inside the Beetroots set. Since the Cabbages set is non-empty, the intersection of Beetroots and Cabbages is non-empty. Therefore, Conclusion I ("Some beetroots are cabbages") definitely follows. "Some cabbages are carrots" means there is an intersection between the Cabbages set and the Carrots set. Since all Cabbages are entirely inside Beetroots, that intersecting part of Carrots and Cabbages must also lie inside Beetroots. Thus, Conclusion II ("Some beetroots are carrots") definitely follows.Therefore, both conclusions I and II follow.
