Question 31
Back to Exercise
Statements: All men are dogs. All dogs are cats.
Conclusions:
I. All men are cats.
II. All cats are men.
- A Only conclusion I follows Correct
- B Only conclusion II follows
- C Either I or II follows
- D Neither I nor II follows
- E Both I and II follow
Correct Answer: Option A
Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative. However, conclusion II, being an A-type proposition, distributes the term 'cats'.
Since the term 'cats' is distributed in II without being distributed in any of the premises, so conclusion II cannot follow. Thus, only I follows.
