- Some clocks are books
- No clocks are books
- Some books are chips
- No books are chips
A1 and 3 follow
BOnly 1 follows ✓ Correct
CEither 1 or 2 follows
DEither 3 or 4, and 1, follow
Correct answer: (B) Only 1 follows — Only conclusion 1 follows, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Only conclusion 1 follows, so that is the answer.
★All books are clocks, so by conversion some clocks are books, giving conclusion 1.
★'Some clocks are chips' need not touch the books among the clocks.
★So neither 'some books are chips' nor 'no books are chips' is established.
★Thus conclusions 3 and 4 do not definitely follow.
★So only conclusion 1 follows.
