Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which conclusions logically follow/s from the given statements. Statements: All cakes are biscuits. All pizzas are biscuits. Conclusion (I) : Some cakes are pizzas Conclusion (II) : Some biscuits are pizzas
Only conclusion (II) follows
The statements are: All cakes are biscuits, and All pizzas are biscuits. Both cakes and pizzas lie inside the biscuits group, but nothing links cakes directly with pizzas.
Conclusion (I): "Some cakes are pizzas." Cakes and pizzas may overlap or stay entirely separate within biscuits, so this is only a possibility, not a certainty — it does not follow.
Conclusion (II): "Some biscuits are pizzas." Since all pizzas are biscuits, every pizza is also a biscuit, which guarantees that some biscuits are pizzas — this definitely follows.
Therefore only Conclusion (II) is valid.
Hence, only conclusion (II) follows.
