Two 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 follow(s) from the statements.Statements:All bottles are doors.All doors are pens.Conclusions:I. All doors are bottles.II. All pens are doors.

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

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze using standard sets representation:Statement 1: All bottles are doors ().Statement 2: All doors are pens ().This gives the nested relationship: .Now let's check the conclusions:Conclusion I: All doors are bottles. This is not necessarily true because the set 'Doors' is larger than or equal to 'Bottles'. Some doors might not be bottles. Thus, it does not follow.Conclusion II: All pens are doors. This is not necessarily true because the set 'Pens' contains 'Doors'. There could be pens that are not doors. Thus, it does not follow.Therefore, neither conclusion follows.
