Logical Reasoning: Statement and Conclusion
Given statements:
- Some rats are cats.
- Some cats are dogs.
- No dog is cow.
Conclusions:
- No cow is cat.
- No dog is rat.
- Some cats are rats.
To determine which conclusions logically follow from the given statements, we need to analyze the relationships between the elements mentioned in the statements.
Conclusion 1: No cow is cat
This conclusion logically follows from the given statements, as there is no overlap between the sets of dogs and cows, and some cats are dogs, which means that they cannot be cows. Hence, it can be concluded that no cow is a cat.
Conclusion 2: No dog is rat
This conclusion also logically follows from the given statements, as some rats are cats, and no dog is a cow, which means that there is no overlap between the sets of dogs and rats. Hence, it can be concluded that no dog is a rat.
Conclusion 3: Some cats are rats
This conclusion does not follow logically from the given statements, as there is no direct or indirect relationship between cats and rats mentioned in the statements. While some cats are dogs, this does not imply that any cats are rats. Hence, this conclusion cannot be logically inferred from the given statements.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (E) Only (3).
