Statements: Some tables are TVs. Some TVs are radios. Which of the given conclusions follow?
- Some tables are radios
- Some radios are tables
- All radios are TVs
- All TVs are tables
AOnly 1 and 3 follow
BOnly 2 and 4 follow
CAll follow
DNone follows ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) None follows — None of the conclusions follows, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★None of the conclusions follows, so that is the answer.
★Both premises are particular, using the middle term 'TVs' undistributed.
★So tables and radios cannot be linked through it.
★The 'all' conclusions are illicit converses of particular premises.
★Hence no valid conclusion connecting the terms can be drawn.
★So none of the conclusions follows.
