Read the given statement and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statement 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.
Statement:
1. Some cats are dogs.
2. Some trees are dogs.
Conclusions:
(I) Some dogs are cats.
(II) Some cats are trees.
A.Only conclusion I follows.✓ Correct
B.Both conclusions I and II follow.
C.Only conclusion II follows.
D.Either conclusion I or II follow.
Explanation
From 'Some cats are dogs,' it logically follows by conversion that 'Some dogs are cats' (Conclusion I is valid). However, there is no direct link between cats and trees in the premises, so Conclusion II does not follow.
