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 seeds are pots. Some leaves are flowers. No flower are seeds. Conclusions : (I) Some seeds are leaves. (II) No pots are flowers.
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
From the statements: all seeds are pots, so the seed set lies entirely within the pot set; no flower is a seed, so the flower and seed sets do not overlap; and some leaves are flowers, meaning the leaf and flower sets overlap partially.
Conclusion (I) claims some seeds are leaves. The statements give no direct link connecting seeds and leaves, and a Venn diagram can be drawn where the seed and leaf sets do not intersect at all, so this conclusion does not necessarily follow.
Conclusion (II) claims no pots are flowers. Since pots is a broader set that only certainly excludes seeds from flowers, pots could still overlap with flowers outside the seed portion, so this conclusion does not necessarily follow either.
Since neither conclusion is guaranteed to be true in every possible diagram consistent with the statements, neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.
