Question

Choose the correct option about conclusion drawn from the statements given below

Statements: No apple is red.
All apples are tasty.
Conclusions: I. Some red things being tasty is a possibility
II. All tasty things are not red.

• A. if only conclusion I follows.
• B. if only conclusion II follows.
• C. if either conclusion I or II follows.
• D. if neither conclusion I nor II follows.
• E. if both conclusions I and II follow.

Answer 1

The correct option is E if both conclusions I and II follow.

The above figure shows different possibilities of representation of given statements.

From first figure we can see that, some tasty things can be red. Thus conclusion I is correct.

From both the figures we can see that, all tasty things can never be tasty. Thus conclusion II is correct.
