Q. Statements: All branches are flowers. All flowers are leaves.

Conclusions:

  1. All branches are leaves.
  2. All leaves are branches.
  3. All flowers are branches.
  4. Some leaves are branches.

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'All branches are leaves'. Thus, I follows. IV is the converse of this conclusion and so it also holds.

Test: Logical Connectives- 1 - Question 2

Statements: Some bags are pockets. No pocket is a pouch.

Conclusions:

  1. No bag is a pouch.
  2. Some bags are not pouches.
  3. Some pockets are bags.
  4. No pocket is a bag.

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Explanation:

Since one premise is particular and the other negative, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, II follows. III is the converse of the first premise and thus it also holds.

Test: Logical Connectives- 1 - Question 3

Statements: All aeroplanes are trains. Some trains are chairs.

Conclusions:

  1. Some aeroplanes are chairs.
  2. Some chairs are aeroplanes.
  3. Some chairs are trains.
  4. Some trains are aeroplanes.

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Explanation:

Since the middle term 'trains' is not distributed even once in the/premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, III is the converse of the second premise while IV is the converse of the first premise. So, both of them hold.

Test: Logical Connectives- 1 - Question 4

Statements: All politicians are honest. All honest are fair.

Conclusions:

  1. Some honest are politicians.
