Correct answer: A. Only conclusion (I) follows

  • A. Only conclusion (I) follows
  • B. Only conclusion (II) follows
  • C. Both conclusions follow
  • D. Neither conclusion follows

Explanation

Since some fruits are grapes, and all fruits are leaves, it logically follows that the fruits that are grapes must also be leaves. Therefore, "Some leaves are grapes" is a valid conclusion. The second statement is not necessarily true as the group of "grapes" might be larger than the group of "fruits".

About Logical Problems

Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
