Statements : Every minister is a student. Every student is inexperienced.

Conclusions :
I. Every minister is inexperienced.
II. Some inexperienced are students.

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)

'Every' is equivalent to 'All'. Thus, since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. II is the converse of the second premise and thus it also holds.
