Question

Statements: Some hills are mountains.
All mountains are high.
Conclusions: I. All hills being high is a possibility.
II. Some mountains can never be hills.

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

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Both conclusions I and II follow.

From the figure 1, all hills may be high.

So there is a possibility of all hills being high.

From both the figures, we can say that the some mountains are definitely not hills.

So, some mountains can never be hills.

Thus, both the conclusions follow.

Hence, option E is correct.
