statements

Statements:

All pencils are remotes

Some pencils are ACs.

Conclusions

[1] Some ACs are remotes.

[2] All remotes are Acs.

AOnly conclusion [1] follows

BNeither conclusion [1] nor [2] follows

CBoth conclusions [1] and [2] follow

DOnly conclusion [2] follows

Answer:

A. Only conclusion [1] follows

Read Explanation:

Let’s analyze step by step.

Statements:

  1. All pencils are remotes

  2. Some pencils are ACs

    Conclusion [1]: Some ACs are remotes

  • From (2): Some pencils are ACs

  • From (1): All pencils are remotes

So, those pencils which are ACs are also remotes.

Conclusion [1] follows

Conclusion [2]: All remotes are ACs

  • We only know all pencils are remotes, not that all remotes are pencils or ACs.

Conclusion [2] does NOT follow

Final Answer: Only conclusion [1] follows
