Direction: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information in the statements is true, even if they appear to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow from the statements.
Statements:
1. All beans are meat
2. All breads are meat
Conclusions:
I. Some beans are breads
II. Some breads are beans
Statements:
1. All beans are meat
2. All breads are meat
Conclusions:
I. Some beans are breads
II. Some breads are beans
- Only conclusion I follows
- Both conclusions I and II follow
- Either conclusion I or II follows
- Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Beans and breads are both subsets of meat, but nothing links beans and breads to each other; they may not overlap at all. So neither 'some beans are breads' nor its converse follows.
