Read the given statement(s) 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 statement(s). Statements: All rugs are perfumes. All boots are perfumes. Conclusion (I): Some rugs are boots. Conclusion (II): Some perfumes are boots.
Only conclusion (II) follows
Represent the statements with Venn diagrams: rugs and boots are both subsets of perfumes, but nothing forces rugs and boots to overlap; they can lie in disjoint parts of the perfume circle.
Conclusion (I) ‘Some rugs are boots’: not necessary; both subsets could be disjoint. Does not follow.
Conclusion (II) ‘Some perfumes are boots’: since all boots are perfumes and boots exist, at least the boot portion of the perfume circle is boots, so some perfumes are boots. Follows.
Only conclusion (II) follows.
Hence, the answer is Only conclusion (II) follows.
