Question 4
Back to Exercise
Statements: All flowers are trees. No fruit is tree.
Conclusions:
I. No fruit is flower.
II. Some trees are flowers.
- A Only conclusion I follows
- B Only conclusion II follows
- C Either I or II follows
- D Neither I nor II follows
- E Both I and II follow Correct
Correct Answer: Option E
As discussed above, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No flower is fruit'. I is the converse of this conclusion and thus it follows. II is the converse of the first premise and so it also holds.
