The statements below are followed by conclusions labeled I, II and III. Assuming that the information in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with generally established facts, decide which conclusion(s) logically and definitely follow(s) from the information given in the statements. Statements: All twenty are thirty. All thirty are forty. All forty are sixty. All sixty are seventy. Conclusions: I. Some forty are thirty. II. Some seventy are sixty.
Only I and II follow
Logical Reasoning: Statements and Conclusions
This question requires analyzing logical connections between given statements and conclusions. We need to determine which conclusions are necessarily true based only on the provided statements.
Evaluating Conclusion I: Some forty are thirty.
Statement: "All thirty are forty."
Reasoning: If every member of the 'thirty' group is also a member of the 'forty' group, it logically follows that at least some members of the 'forty' group are indeed 'thirty'. This is a standard conversion of an "All A are B" statement to "Some B are A", assuming that the categories are not empty.
Result: Conclusion I logically follows.
Evaluating Conclusion II: Some seventy are sixty.
Statement: "All sixty are seventy."
Reasoning: Similar to the analysis for Conclusion I, if every 'sixty' is a 'seventy', then it must be true that some 'seventy' are 'sixty'.
Result: Conclusion II logically follows.
Evaluating Conclusion III: No thirty is twenty.
Statement: "All twenty are thirty."
Reasoning: The statement "All twenty are thirty" means that the set of 'twenty' is entirely contained within the set of 'thirty'. This directly implies that any individual identified as 'twenty' must also be 'thirty'. Consequently, it is impossible for 'no thirty to be twenty'; in fact, some thirty *must* be twenty. Therefore, this conclusion contradicts the given statement.
Result: Conclusion III does not follow.
Final Decision
Based on the analysis, only conclusions I and II are logically and definitely derived from the given statements.
Therefore, the correct option is the one stating that only I and II follow.
