Statements: All cats are mammals. No tigers are cats. Which conclusion follows?
ANo tiger is a mammal
BNo mammals are tigers
CCats are tigers
DNone of the above ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) None of the above — None of the conclusions follows, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★None of the conclusions follows, so that is the answer.
★'No tigers are cats' tells us tigers are outside the class of cats.
★But cats are only a part of mammals, so tigers could still be mammals.
★So we cannot conclude that no tiger is a mammal or vice versa.
★'Cats are tigers' plainly contradicts a premise.
★So the answer is none of the above.
