Syllogisms question 11
Statements:
All kings are queens.
Some queens are jacks.
All jacks are aces.
Conclusions:
I. Some aces are queens.
II. Some kings are aces.
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: A. Only conclusion I follows
Explanation: The queens that are jacks are also aces, so some aces are queens (I follows). Kings need not overlap the jacks or aces, so II does not follow.
