Question
Statements: All snails are seals.No snake is a snail.Conclusions: I. No snail is a snakeII. Some snakes are not seals
Solution
The given statements are:
- All snails are seals.
- No snake is a snail.
From these statements, we can draw the following conclusions:
Conclusion I: No snail is a snake. This conclusion is valid because the second statement clearly states that no snake is a snail.
Conclusion II: Some snakes are not seals. This conclusion is also valid. Since no snake is a snail and all snails are seals, it can be inferred that some snakes are not seals because they cannot be snails, which are seals.
So, both conclusions I and II follow from the given statements.
