Statements :Some tables are desks. No desk is a chair. Some sofa are c...
Analysis:
The given statements are:
1. Some tables are desks.
2. No desk is a chair.
3. Some sofas are chairs.
Conclusion I: Some sofas are not desks.
Conclusion II: At least some tables are not chairs.
Explanation:
To determine if the conclusions follow from the given statements, we need to analyze each conclusion separately.
Conclusion I: Some sofas are not desks.
This conclusion can be inferred from the given statements. Since the second statement states that "No desk is a chair," we can conclude that some sofas, which are chairs, are not desks.
Conclusion II: At least some tables are not chairs.
This conclusion cannot be directly inferred from the given statements. The first statement tells us that "Some tables are desks," but it does not provide any information about the relationship between tables and chairs. Therefore, we cannot conclude that at least some tables are not chairs.
Conclusion:
From the analysis above, we can conclude that:
- Conclusion I follows from the given statements.
- Conclusion II does not follow from the given statements.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'E' - Both conclusions I and II follow.
