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.
