Statements:Most lions are humans.No humans are rats. All rats are cows.Few cows are pigs.Conclusions:I. Some cows are lions.II. Some humans being cows is a possibility.III. No rats are pigs.Select one:a. Only conclusion II followsb. Both conclusion II and conclusion III follow.c. Only conclusion I followsd. None of the abovee. Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow.
Solution
The answer is (b) Both conclusion II and conclusion III follow.
Here's why:
Statement: Most lions are humans. No humans are rats. All rats are cows. Few cows are pigs.
Conclusion I: Some cows are lions. This is not necessarily true because while most lions are humans, there is no direct relationship established between lions and cows.
Conclusion II: Some humans being cows is a possibility. This is true because while no humans are rats, and all rats are cows, there is a possibility that some humans could be cows.
Conclusion III: No rats are pigs. This is true because while all rats are cows, only a few cows are pigs, so it's possible that no rats are pigs.
