Three statements are given: (1) All pages are diaries. (2) Some diaries are books. (3) All books are notebooks. Three conclusions are given: I. No page is a notebook. II. All pages are notebooks. III. All diaries being notebooks is a possibility. Assuming the statements to be true, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the statements and conclusions step by step:

Statements:
1. All pages are diaries. (Pages ⊆ Diaries)
2. Some diaries are books. (Diaries ∩ Books ≠ ∅)
3. All books are notebooks. (Books ⊆ Notebooks)

Conclusions:
I. No page is a notebook.
- Since all pages are diaries, and some diaries are books, and all books are notebooks, it is possible that some pages could be notebooks (if those pages are among the diaries that are books). Therefore, this conclusion does NOT follow.

II. All pages are notebooks.
- All pages are diaries. Some diaries are books, and all books are notebooks. But not all diaries are books, so not all pages are necessarily books or notebooks. Therefore, this conclusion does NOT follow.

III. All diaries being notebooks is a possibility.
- Some diaries are books, and all books are notebooks. It is possible that all diaries could be books (and hence, all notebooks), but the statements do not restrict this possibility. Therefore, this conclusion logically follows.

Hence, only conclusion III follows.
