Statements: All actors are artists. No artist is doctor. Conclusions: I. Some doctors are actors. II. No actor is a doctor. III. Some artists are actors
Correct answer: A. Only II and III
- A. Only II and III
- B. Only III
- C. I and II
- D. All follow
Explanation
To solve this question, we need to analyze the relationships given in the statements. The first statement says all actors are artists, and the second states that no artist is a doctor. Therefore, Conclusion II is true because if no artist is a doctor, then it logically follows that no actor, who is also an artist, can be a doctor. Conclusion III is also true because all actors are artists, which means some artists are definitely actors. Conclusion I is false because it contradicts the given statements-it cannot be true that some doctors are actors if no artist is a doctor and all actors are artists. Hence, the correct answer is Option A: Only II and III.
