Statements: All chocolates are sweet. Some sweets are unhealthy. Conclusions: I. Some chocolates are unhealthy. II. All sweets are chocolates. III. Some sweets are not chocolates
Correct answer: C. None follow
- A. Only I
- B. Only III
- C. None follow
- D. I and III
Explanation
The correct answer is 'None follow'. Conclusion I suggests a direct relationship between chocolates and unhealthy items, which is not explicitly stated or implied. Conclusion II is incorrect because it suggests all sweets are chocolates, but the statement only says 'some sweets are unhealthy'. Conclusion III is also incorrect because there is no information to determine that some sweets are not chocolates. Thus, none of the conclusions can be logically derived from the given statements.
