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 carrots are onions. All onions are peas. Conclusions (I) : All peas are carrots. Conclusions (II) : Some onions are carrots.
Only conclusion (II) follows
The statements are: All carrots are onions, and All onions are peas.
Conclusion (I) says All peas are carrots. The chain only guarantees carrots are onions and onions are peas; it says nothing that forces every pea to be a carrot. There can be peas that are not carrots, so this does not follow.
Conclusion (II) says Some onions are carrots. Since All carrots are onions, every carrot is an onion, so at least those carrots are onions that are carrots. Therefore some onions are carrots. This follows.
Hence, only conclusion (II) follows.
