Statement: All bags are cakes. All lamps are cakes.
Conclusions:
I. Some lamps are bags.
II. No lamp is a bag.
Explanation:
To determine whether the conclusions logically follow from the given statements, we need to analyze the statements and evaluate each conclusion individually.
Analysis of Statements:
- Statement 1: All bags are cakes.
- Statement 2: All lamps are cakes.
Based on the given statements, we can conclude that:
- All bags are cakes.
- All lamps are cakes.
Analysis of Conclusions:
I. Some lamps are bags:
- This conclusion suggests that there is a possibility of lamps also being bags based on the given statements.
- Since both lamps and bags are cakes according to the statements, it is possible that there are some lamps that are also bags.
- Hence, conclusion I logically follows from the given statements.
II. No lamp is a bag:
- This conclusion suggests that there is no possibility of any lamp being a bag based on the given statements.
- However, since both lamps and bags are cakes according to the statements, the conclusion that no lamp is a bag is not supported.
- Hence, conclusion II does not logically follow from the given statements.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, we can conclude that only conclusion I logically follows from the given statements. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'a) Only conclusion I follows'.
