Question

Statements: All roses are flowers. Some flowers are red. Conclusions: I. Some roses are red. II. Some flowers are roses. Which conclusion follows?

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Both I and II follow
• C. Only conclusion II follows
• D. Neither I nor II follows

Hint:

The red flowers need not be roses, but 'All roses are flowers' converts to 'Some flowers are roses'.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The red part of the flowers circle need not touch the roses sub-circle, so I is uncertain. But the roses circle lies inside flowers, so the flowers circle certainly contains roses, giving II. Only II follows.
