Statement and Conclusion
Statement: Some people are buyers. No buyer is a market. Some markets are not malls.
Conclusion: I. All markets being people are a possibility. II. No market is people.
Explanation
The given argument consists of three statements. From the first statement, we can infer that there are some people who are buyers. The second statement indicates that there is no buyer who is a market. The third statement says that there are some markets that are not malls. Based on these statements, we need to draw two conclusions.
Conclusion I states that all markets being people is a possibility. This conclusion cannot be drawn from the given statements. The first statement states that some people are buyers, but it does not imply that all people are buyers. The second statement says that no buyer is a market, which means that these two categories are mutually exclusive. Therefore, we cannot say that all markets are people.
Conclusion II states that no market is people. This conclusion can be drawn from the given statements. The second statement states that no buyer is a market. Therefore, we can say that no market is a buyer. The first statement states that some people are buyers. Since no buyer is a market, we can infer that no market is people.
Therefore, only conclusion II follows from the given statements, and the correct option is (a) if only I follows.
