Question

Read the following statements and conclusions. Decide which conclusion(s) logically follow(s) from the given statements.

Statements:
All fruit are sour.

Some sour are vegetables.

Some vegetables are green.

Conclusions:
(I) All vegetables are sour.

(II) Some sour are green.

Accepted Answer

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

Statements:
1. All fruit are sour. (So, every fruit is included in the set of sour things.)
2. Some sour are vegetables. (There is some overlap between sour and vegetables.)
3. Some vegetables are green. (There is some overlap between vegetables and green.)

Conclusions:
(I) All vegetables are sour.
This is not necessarily true. The statement only says 'some sour are vegetables', not 'all vegetables are sour'. So, this does not follow.

(II) Some sour are green.
We know that some sour are vegetables and some vegetables are green, but it is not necessary that the 'some vegetables' which are green are the same as the 'some vegetables' which are sour. There is no direct link established between sour and green. So, this also does not follow.

Therefore, neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.
