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 parrots are eagles. No parrot is a crow. Conclusions: (I) No eagle is a crow. (II) All crows are parrots.
Answer
The correct answer is A: Neither conclusion I nor II follows. From 'All parrots are eagles' and 'No parrot is a crow,' we cannot conclude that no eagle is a crow (eagles may include non-parrots who could be crows), and 'All crows are parrots' is not supported. Neither conclusion follows.
