Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

    Statements: All plates are cups. All

    cups are oranges. Conclusions: I. Some oranges are cups. II. Some plates are not oranges. III. Some oranges are plates.
    A All conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All cups are oranges (A) → Conversion → Some oranges are cups (I). Hence conclusion I follows. All plates are cups (A) + All cups are oranges (A) → All plates are oranges (A) → Conversion → Some oranges are plates (I). Hence conclusion II does not follow but conclusion III follows.
