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.
- AOnly conclusion I follows
- BBoth conclusions I and II follow
- COnly conclusion II follows
- DNeither 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.
