Three statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Conclusions:
Some rats are mouse.
No mouse is a rodent.
Some rats are kittens.
I. No rodent is a kitten.
II. Some rats are rodent.
III. No kitten is a mouse.
Neither conclusion follows
To determine which of the given conclusions logically follow from the statements, we need to analyze the statements and conclusions carefully.
Statements:
- Some rats are mouse.
- No mouse is a rodent.
- Some rats are kittens.
Conclusions:
- No rodent is a kitten.
- Some rats are rodent.
- No kitten is a mouse.
Analysis and Explanation:
Let's evaluate each conclusion one by one:
Conclusion I: No rodent is a kitten.
This conclusion is derived from understanding if there's any overlap between rodents and kittens. However, the statements don't provide any relationship between rodents and kittens. Therefore, Conclusion I does not logically follow.
Conclusion II: Some rats are rodent.
We are only told that some rats are mice and no mouse is a rodent. There is no information directly or indirectly that can lead us to infer that some rats are rodents. Thus, Conclusion II does not logically follow.
Conclusion III: No kitten is a mouse.
The statements provide no direct relationship between kittens and mice. Since "Some rats are mouse" and "Some rats are kittens," there is no conclusion that can be made about whether kittens can or cannot be mice. Hence, Conclusion III also does not logically follow.
Decision:
After analyzing all conclusions, none logically follows from the given statements. Therefore, the correct answer is:
Neither conclusion follows.
