Statements: Some mangoes are apples.
Some apples are bananas.
Some bananas are grapes.
Conclusions: I. All mangoes being grapes is a possibility.
II. All bananas being apples 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 E if both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.

There are two cases possible.

All mango can be grape.

This is a possibility but not always true.

All banana can be apple.

This is a possibility but not always true.

Thus both conclusion I and II are correct.

Hence, Option E is correct.
