Syllogisms question 6
Statements:
Some chairs are tables.
Some tables are sofas.
Conclusions:
I. Some chairs are sofas.
II. Some sofas are tables.
Assuming the statements to be true, which conclusion(s) logically follow(s)?
- Only conclusion I follows
- Only conclusion II follows
- Both I and II follow
- Neither I nor II follows
Answer and explanation
Answer: B. Only conclusion II follows
Explanation: Two 'some' statements give no definite link between chairs and sofas, so I does not follow. 'Some tables are sofas' converts directly to 'Some sofas are tables', so II follows.
