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 vehicles are machines. Some machines are tools. Conclusions: (I) Some vehicles are tools. (II) All tools are machines.
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Statement 1: “All vehicles are machines” places the whole set of vehicles inside the set of machines.
Statement 2: “Some machines are tools” tells us a part of the machines overlaps with tools, but it does not fix where that overlap lies.
Conclusion (I) “Some vehicles are tools”: the tools could overlap only with the part of machines that are not vehicles, so there is no guarantee that any vehicle is a tool. Hence (I) does not necessarily follow.
Conclusion (II) “All tools are machines”: “Some machines are tools” only guarantees a partial overlap; some tools may lie outside machines. So it is not certain that every tool is a machine, and (II) does not follow.
Since neither conclusion is guaranteed by the statements, neither (I) nor (II) follows.
