Question and options
Some statements are followed by two inferences, I and II. The inferences may be wrongly or correctly drawn. Choose the correct answer.
Statement: No magazine is a cap. All caps are cameras.
Inferences:
I. No camera is a magazine.
II. Some caps are magazines.
Inferences:
I. No camera is a magazine.
II. Some caps are magazines.
- If only inference I follows
- If only inference II follows
- Both I and II follow
- Neither I nor II follows
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - Neither I nor II follows
No magazine is a cap and all caps are cameras together give only that some cameras are not magazines. "No camera is a magazine" (I) does not follow, because cameras that are not caps may be magazines, and "some caps are magazines" (II) contradicts the first statement. So neither follows.
