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 flowers are trees.
All leaves are flowers.
Conclusion:
I) All trees are flowers.
II) All leaves are trees.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Only Conclusion II follows.
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. All trees are flowers → Does not follow (It is possible but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
II. All leaves are trees → Follow (As all flowers are trees, and all leaves are flowers, so, all leaves are trees is also true.)
