Question
Read the given statements and conclusions carefully.
Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some roses are sunflowers. No rose is a lily. Some lilies are marigolds. 3\ Conclusions (I): Some marigolds may be sunflowers. Conclusions (II): No lily is a sunflower.Solution
Only Conclusion I follows. Reasoning: Some roses are sunflowers, and no rose is a lily. Some lilies are marigolds. There is nothing that forbids marigolds from overlapping with sunflowers, so it is possible (may be) that some marigolds are sunflowers — Conclusion I can hold.
Conclusion II (“No lily is a sunflower”) does not follow because the statements do not rule out lilies being sunflowers.
