Syllogisms question 17
Statements:
No fruit is a vegetable.
All carrots are vegetables.
Conclusions:
I. No carrot is a fruit.
II. Some vegetables are not fruits.
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: C. Both I and II follow
Explanation: Carrots lie inside vegetables, which share nothing with fruits, so no carrot is a fruit (I). Since no vegetable is a fruit, some (indeed all) vegetables are not fruits (II). Both follow.
