Question

Statements: All petals are flowers.
No flower is a colour.
All colours are fruits.
Conclusions: I. At least some petals are colours.
II. Some flowers being fruits is a possibility.

• 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 B if only conclusion II follows.

There are two cases possible.

Some petals can never be colors.

This is not always true.

Some flower can be fruits.

This is a possibility but not always true.

Thus only conclusion II is correct.

Hence, Option B is correct.
