Statements: All furniture are wooden. No table is furniture. Conclusions: I. Some tables are not wooden. II. All wooden things are furniture.
Correct answer: C. None follow
- A. Only I
- B. Only II
- C. None follow
- D. Both
Explanation
The statements provided are 'All furniture are wooden' and 'No table is furniture.' From these, we can infer that since no table is furniture, tables are not part of the category that is wooden furniture. However, this does not directly support the conclusion that 'Some tables are not wooden,' as tables may still be made of wood but not classified as furniture. Additionally, the conclusion 'All wooden things are furniture' is not supported because the statements do not account for all wooden things, just those classified as furniture. Therefore, neither conclusion I nor II follows logically from the given statements.
