Statements: All silvers are gold. All gold are diamonds. All platinum are diamonds. Conclusions:   I. Some gold are platinum. II. Some platinum are silvers.

    B Neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only Conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both Conclusion I and Conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All platinum are diamonds (A) + [All gold are diamonds (A) → Conversion] → Some diamonds are gold (I)   → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All silvers are gold (A) + All gold are diamonds (A) → All silvers are diamonds (A) +   [All platinum are diamonds (A) → Conversion] → Some diamonds are platinum (I)   → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
