Question
Select the correct answerstatements:All eggs are tomatoes.No tomato is a potato.All potatoes are goods.Conclusions:I. Some tomatoes may be goods.II. All eggs being goods is a possibilityOptionsIf only conclusion I followsIf either conclusion I or conclusion II followsIf both conclusion I and conclusion II followIf neither conclusion I nor conclusion II followsIf only conclusion II follows
Solution
The correct answer is "If only conclusion II follows".
Here's why:
Statement 1: All eggs are tomatoes. Statement 2: No tomato is a potato. Statement 3: All potatoes are goods.
Conclusion I: Some tomatoes may be goods. This conclusion does not follow from the statements. According to the statements, no tomato can be a potato, and all potatoes are goods. Therefore, no tomato can be a good.
Conclusion II: All eggs being goods is a possibility. This conclusion follows from the statements. Since all eggs are tomatoes and no tomato is a potato, it is possible that all eggs could be goods. There is no statement that directly contradicts this possibility.
