All tops are bags.

Some bags are cats.

No cat is a dog.

Conclusions:

I) No top is a dog.

(II) Some cats are tops.

• A. Neither conclusion (I) nor (Il) follows.
• B. Both conclusions (I) and (Il) follow.
• C. Only conclusion (I) follows.
• D. Only conclusion (Il) follows.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Neither conclusion (I) nor (Il) follows.

Let’s analyze step by step:

Statements:

1. All tops are bags

2. Some bags are cats

3. No cat is a dog

   Check Conclusion I: No top is a dog

• Tops ⊆ Bags

• Some bags are cats, but not all bags are cats

• Only cats are definitely not dogs

• But we don’t know whether tops fall inside the “cats” part of bags or not

Conclusion I does NOT follow

Check Conclusion II: Some cats are tops

• We know: Some bags are cats

• But we don’t know if those bags (which are cats) include tops

So, no definite relation between cats and tops

Conclusion II does NOT follow

Final Answer:

Neither I nor II follows
