Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
E
Okay, let's break down this syllogism question!
First, let's understand what a syllogism is. It's like a logical puzzle where we have some statements that we assume are true, and then we have to figure out if the conclusions are also true based on those statements.
Our statements are:
* Some raises are promotions.
* All promotions are hikes.
* All hikes are advances.
Now let's look at the conclusions one by one:
Conclusion I: Some hikes are raises.
Think of it like this: If "All promotions are hikes," and "Some raises are promotions," then it means some of those raises *must* also be hikes. Imagine drawing circles. If the 'raises' circle slightly overlaps the 'promotions' circle, and the 'promotions' circle is completely inside the 'hikes' circle, then part of the 'raises' circle must also be inside the 'hikes' circle. So, this conclusion is TRUE.
Conclusion II: Some advances are not promotion.
This one is a bit trickier. We know "All hikes are advances" and "All promotions are hikes" so all promotions are advances. this means the entire 'promotion' circle is inside the 'advances' circle. So, is it possible that *some* advances are NOT promotions?. Let's use the circle method again we can say that some of the advances are not promotions because hikes may contain others things except the promotions so this conclusion is TRUE
So, Conclusion I is TRUE, and Conclusion II is also TRUE.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Option E: Both I and II follows
