Question

Read the given statements and find which of the conclusions given below, follows them: Statements: 1. Some lions are cats. 2. Some cats are tigers. Conclusions: 1. Some lions are tigers. 2. No tiger is a cat.Choices:- Only (1) follows Only (2) follows Either (1) or (2) follows Neither (1) nor (2) follows

Solution

The correct answer is "Neither (1) nor (2) follows".

Here's why:

From the first statement, we know that some lions are cats. However, this does not necessarily mean that those lions are also tigers. They could be, but the statement doesn't guarantee it. So, we cannot conclude that "Some lions are tigers."

From the second statement, we know that some cats are tigers. This directly contradicts the conclusion "No tiger is a cat." So, we cannot conclude that "No tiger is a cat."

Therefore, neither conclusion follows from the given statements.
