Directions:In each question below are given two statements followed by...
**Logical Reasoning: Conclusions from Given Statements**
Given Statements:
1. All puppets are dolls
2. All dolls are toys
Conclusion I: Some toys are puppets
Conclusion II: All toys are puppets
To determine which conclusion logically follows from the given statements, we need to analyze the statements and see if the conclusions can be deduced from them.
**Analysis:**
From the given statements, we can deduce the following information:
- All puppets are dolls (Statement 1)
- All dolls are toys (Statement 2)
From Statement 1, we can infer that anything that is a puppet is also a doll. This means that all puppets can be classified as dolls.
From Statement 2, we can infer that anything that is a doll is also a toy. This means that all dolls can be classified as toys.
**Conclusion I: Some toys are puppets**
To determine if Conclusion I logically follows from the given statements, we need to analyze the information we have.
- All puppets are dolls.
- All dolls are toys.
Based on this information, it is possible that some toys are puppets. Since all puppets are dolls, and all dolls are toys, there can be toys that are also puppets. Therefore, Conclusion I logically follows from the given statements.
**Conclusion II: All toys are puppets**
To determine if Conclusion II logically follows from the given statements, we need to analyze the information we have.
- All puppets are dolls.
- All dolls are toys.
Based on this information, we cannot conclude that all toys are puppets. While all puppets are dolls and all dolls are toys, it does not necessarily mean that all toys are puppets. There can be other types of toys that are not puppets. Therefore, Conclusion II does not logically follow from the given statements.
**Conclusion:**
Based on the analysis, we can conclude that only Conclusion I (Some toys are puppets) logically follows from the given statements. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'a) if only conclusion I follows'.
