Statements:
Some cats are animals.
All animals are living beings.
Conclusions:
I. Some cats are living beings.
II. All living beings are cats.
Which conclusions follow?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
From the given statements:
• Some cats are animals.
• All animals are living beings.
Combining both statements (Some + All = Some):
⇒ Some cats are living beings. Hence, Conclusion I follows.
For Conclusion II: We only know that some living beings are cats, so All living beings are cats cannot be deduced definitively. Hence, Conclusion II does not follow.
Therefore, only Conclusion I follows.
