- A. Some team members are engineers
- B. All team members are engineers
- C. No definite conclusion about team members being engineers can be drawn
- D. All engineers are from Lahore
Explanation
The engineers among Lahore's population might all fall outside the team, so nothing definite follows about the team at all. This is the same structural point as the earlier cats and wild animals question, dressed in different words. Recognising the shape of a syllogism matters more than its subject.
