Question 17
Back to Exercise
Statements: All fish are tortoise. No tortoise is a crocodile.
Conclusions:
I. No crocodile is a fish.
II. No fish is a crocodile.
- 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
Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative. Also, the conclusion should not contain the middle term. So, II follows; I is the converse of II and thus it also holds.
