Question

Statements:Some engineers are fools. Anand is an engineer.
Conclusions:
I. Some fools are engineers.
II. Anand is a fool.

• 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

The correct option is A Only conclusion I follows

Since the middle term 'engineer' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, I is the converse of the first premise and thus it holds.
