Statements:
- All orchids are flowers.
- Some orchids are beautiful.
Conclusions:
- Some flowers are beautiful.
- All beautiful are flowers.
Explanation:
To solve this question, we need to analyse the given statements and check which conclusion(s) logically follow from them.
- Statement 1: All orchids are flowers. This means that every orchid is a type of flower.
- Statement 2: Some orchids are beautiful. This means that there exist some orchids which are considered beautiful.
Now let's look at the conclusions:
- Conclusion 1: Some flowers are beautiful. This conclusion is logically valid because if all orchids are flowers and some orchids are beautiful, then it follows that some flowers (i.e. orchids) are beautiful.
- Conclusion 2: All beautiful are flowers. This conclusion is not logically valid because it is possible that there are other things besides flowers (such as sunsets, paintings, etc.) that can also be considered beautiful. Therefore, we cannot say that all beautiful things are flowers.
Hence, the correct answer is option A, i.e. if only conclusion I follows.
