1. Some parrots are crows.
2. No crow is green.
Conclusions :
I. No parrot is green.
II. No crow is white
- Only conclusion I follows
- Only conclusion II follows
- Either I or II follows
- Neither I nor II follows
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Neither I nor II follows
Some parrots are crows and no crow is green only tells us some parrots (those that are crows) are not green; 'no parrot is green' does not follow. Nothing is said about white, so II fails too. Neither follows.
