Three statements are given, followed by two conclusions. Assuming the statements to be true, decide which conclusion(s) logically follow(s) from the statements: Statements: Some shirts are pants. All pants are jackets. All jackets are trousers. Conclusions: I. Some trousers are shirts. II. All jackets are shirts.

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Analyze the statements:
- Some shirts are pants.
- All pants are jackets.
- All jackets are trousers.

Step 2: From 'All pants are jackets' and 'All jackets are trousers', it follows that all pants are also trousers (since all pants are jackets and all jackets are trousers).

Step 3: Since some shirts are pants, and all pants are trousers, it means some shirts are also trousers. Therefore, conclusion I (Some trousers are shirts) follows.

Step 4: For conclusion II (All jackets are shirts), the statements do not support this. We know all pants are jackets, but only some shirts are pants. There is no information that all jackets are shirts. Hence, conclusion II does not follow.

Final decision: Only conclusion I follows.
