Question 9 Back to Exercise

Statements: All bags are cakes. All lamps are cakes.

Conclusions:

I.  Some lamps are bags.

II. No lamp is bag.

  • A Only conclusion I follows
  • B Only conclusion II follows
  • C Either I or II follows Correct
  • D Neither I nor II follows
  • E Both I and II follow
Correct Answer: Option C

Since the middle term 'cakes' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. So, either I or II follows.
