Analysis of Animal Speed Statements

This question requires us to evaluate the truthfulness of two statements comparing the running speeds of a cheetah, a horse, and a cat.

Statement I Analysis: Cheetah runs faster than horse

Let's consider the typical top speeds of these animals:

  • Cheetah: Known as the fastest land animal, a cheetah can reach speeds of up to 112-120 km/h (approximately 70-75 mph).
  • Horse: Horses, particularly breeds used for racing, can achieve speeds around 88 km/h (approximately 55 mph).

Comparing these speeds, $112 \, \text{km/h} > 88 \, \text{km/h}$. Therefore, the statement "Cheetah runs faster than horse" is true.

Statement II Analysis: Horse runs faster than cat

Now let's compare the speed of a horse to that of a domestic cat:

  • Horse: As mentioned, horses can run at speeds around 88 km/h (approximately 55 mph).
  • Cat: A domestic cat can reach top speeds of about 48 km/h (approximately 30 mph).

Comparing these speeds, $88 \, \text{km/h} > 48 \, \text{km/h}$. Thus, the statement "Horse runs faster than cat" is also true.

Overall Conclusion

Since both Statement I and Statement II have been determined to be factually correct based on the typical running speeds of these animals, the option stating that both statements are true is the correct choice.

This aligns with the first option provided: Both I and II are true.
