II. All stars if they are moon will be planet.

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

Answer 1

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

Statements: $Stars\subset Moons\subset Planets\subset Round$

$Conclusion-I$ :

Let $x\in Stars\Rightarrow x\in Planets$ $(\because Stars\subset Planets)$

$\Rightarrow x$ is a planet and $x$ is a star.

$\Rightarrow$ Atleast some planets are stars.

$\Rightarrow Conclusion-I$ follows.

$Conclusion-II$ :

Given that 'All stars are moons' and 'All moons are planets'.

$\Rightarrow$ All stars are planets.

$\Rightarrow Conclusion-II$ follows.

$\therefore$ Both conclusion-I and conclusion-II follows. $\left[E\right]$
