Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us analyze the given statements:
All customers are clients (All A are B)
All clients are medicines (All B are C)
Combining both statements, we get: All customers are medicines.
Now let's evaluate the conclusions:
Conclusion I: "Some medicines are customers." Since All customers are medicines, it naturally follows that some medicines are customers. Thus, Conclusion I follows.
Conclusion II: "Some medicines are clients." Since All clients are medicines, it naturally follows that some medicines are clients. Thus, Conclusion II also follows.
Therefore, both conclusions follow.
All customers are clients (All A are B)
All clients are medicines (All B are C)
Combining both statements, we get: All customers are medicines.
Now let's evaluate the conclusions:
Conclusion I: "Some medicines are customers." Since All customers are medicines, it naturally follows that some medicines are customers. Thus, Conclusion I follows.
Conclusion II: "Some medicines are clients." Since All clients are medicines, it naturally follows that some medicines are clients. Thus, Conclusion II also follows.
Therefore, both conclusions follow.
