Question
In the question below are given two or three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give answer.Statements:No tree is a flowerSome trees are fruitsConclusions: (I) Fruits that are trees are not flowers.(II) No fruit is a flower.
Solution
The conclusions can be derived as follows:
From the statements, we know that:
- No tree is a flower.
- Some trees are fruits.
Now, let's analyze the conclusions:
(I) Fruits that are trees are not flowers.
This conclusion follows logically from the statements. If no tree is a flower and some trees are fruits, then it is logical to conclude that the fruits that are trees are not flowers.
(II) No fruit is a flower.
This conclusion does not follow logically from the statements. We know that some trees are fruits and no tree is a flower, but this does not mean that no fruit is a flower. There could be fruits that are not trees and are flowers.
So, only conclusion (I) follows.
