Statements: All cups are bowls. No bowl is plate. Conclusions: I. Some cups are not plates. II. All plates are cups.
Correct answer: C. Only I
- A. Both
- B. Only II
- C. Only I
- D. None
Explanation
To solve this logical reasoning question, evaluate each conclusion using the provided statements. Statement 1 states that all cups are bowls, and Statement 2 states that no bowl is a plate. From these, we can infer that if no bowl is a plate, then no cup (which is a type of bowl) can be a plate, leading us to Conclusion I: 'Some cups are not plates.' Conclusion II, 'All plates are cups,' contradicts the fact that no bowl is a plate, hence it is incorrect. Therefore, only Conclusion I follows logically from the given statements.
