Question
Select the correct answerStatements: Some birds are goats.Some goats are horses.Some horses are lions. Some lions are tigers.Conclusions: I. Some tigers are goats.II. No tiger is goat.III. Some lions are birds.IV. No lion is bird.OptionsOnly either I or II followOnly either I or II, and III or IV followNoneOnly I and III followOnly either III or IV follow
Solution
The correct answer is "None".
Here's the step-by-step reasoning:
-
"Some birds are goats." This means there is an overlap between birds and goats.
-
"Some goats are horses." This means there is an overlap between goats and horses.
-
"Some horses are lions." This means there is an overlap between horses and lions.
-
"Some lions are tigers." This means there is an overlap between lions and tigers.
From these statements, we can't definitively conclude any of the options:
I. "Some tigers are goats." We don't know this for sure because the statements don't provide a direct link between tigers and goats.
II. "No tiger is a goat." We also can't confirm this because the statements don't provide enough information about the relationship between tigers and goats.
III. "Some lions are birds." We can't confirm this because the statements don't provide a direct link between lions and birds.
IV. "No lion is a bird." We also can't confirm this because the statements don't provide enough information about the relationship between lions and birds.
Therefore, none of the conclusions follow from the given statements.
