Statements: Some bottles are drinks. All drinks are cups.
Conclusions:
I. Some bottles are cups.
II. Some cups are drinks.
III. All drinks are bottles.
IV. All cups are drinks.
- A Only I and II follow Correct
- B Only II and III follow
- C Only II and IV follow
- D Only III and IV follow
- E Only I and IV follow
Correct Answer: Option A
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some bottles are cups'. Thus, I follows. II is the converse of the second premise and so it also holds.
