Statements: Some cakes are sweets. All sweets are fruits.

Conclusions:

(I) Some fruits are sweets.

(Il) All cakes are fruits.

ANeither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.

BBoth conclusions (I) and (II) follows.

COnly conclusion (I) follows.

DOnly conclusion (II) follows.

Answer:

C. Only conclusion (I) follows.

Read Explanation:

Statements:

  1. Some cakes are sweets

  2. All sweets are fruits

    Analyze conclusions:

(I) Some fruits are sweets
True — since all sweets are fruits, the sweets that exist are definitely fruits
So “some fruits are sweets” follows

(II) All cakes are fruits
Not necessarily true — only some cakes are sweets, and sweets → fruits
So only some cakes are fruits, not all

Final Answer:

Only Conclusion I follows
