Question

Statements: All flowers are trees. No fruit is tree.
Conclusions:
I. No fruit is flower.
II. All wickets are bats.

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Either I or II follows
• D. Neither I nor II follows
• E. Both I and II follow

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Both I and II follow

As discussed above, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No flower is fruit'. I is the converse of this conclusion and thus it follows. II is the converse of the first premise and so it also holds.
