Directions for the next 2 questions: Read the two statements and the two conclusions. Treat the statements as true and determine which conclusion or conclusions logically follow.
Statements:
(I) All pants are skirts.
(II) No shirt is a skirt.
Conclusions:
(I) Some skirts are pants.
(II) All shirts are pants.
A
Only conclusion I follows
B
Only conclusion II follows
C
Either I and II follow
D
Neither I nor II follows
Correct Option:
A
Explanation
From "All pants are skirts," it follows that some skirts are pants under the conventional syllogism assumptions used in such questions. "No shirt is a skirt" does not imply that all shirts are pants. Therefore, only conclusion I follows.
