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:

All flowers are trees.

All branches are leaves.

No flowers are leaves.

Conclusions:

(I) No branches are flowers.

(II) No trees are leaves.

The correct answer is

Only conclusion (I) follows

Conclusion I: True. Because Branches are a subset of Leaves, and Leaves have no relationship with Flowers. Therefore, Branches can never be Flowers.
Conclusion II: False. While we know Flowers (which are Trees) are not Leaves, there could be a part of the Tree circle that overlaps with Leaves. There is no definite "No" relation between the entire Tree group and the Leaf group.
Final Answer: Only conclusion (I) follows.
