Statements : All flowers are trees. No fruit is tree.
Conclusions :
I. No fruit is flower.
II. Some trees are flowers.
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: Option E
Solution (By Examveda Team)
As discussed above, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No flower is fruit'. I is the converse of this conclusion and thus it follows. II is the converse of the first premise and so it also holds.Join The Discussion
