Statements: No man is a tiger. Karan is a man. Choose the conclusion(s) that logically follow.
- I. Karan is not a tiger
- II. All men are not Karan
AOnly conclusion I follows ✓ Correct
BOnly conclusion II follows
CBoth conclusions I and II follow
DNeither conclusion I nor II follows
Correct answer: (A) Only conclusion I follows — Only conclusion I follows, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Only conclusion I follows, so that is the answer.
★Karan is a man, and no man is a tiger.
★So Karan cannot be a tiger, and conclusion I follows.
★Conclusion II makes a claim about all men being distinct from Karan.
★The premises do not establish that, so II does not follow.
★So only conclusion I follows.
