Statements :All men are dogs. All dogs are cats.

Conclusions :
I. All men are cats.
II. All cats are men.

  • 1Only conclusion I follows
  • 2Only conclusion II follows
  • 3Either I or II follows
  • 4Neither I nor II follows
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative. However, conclusion II, being an A-type proposition, distributes the term 'cats'.

Since the term 'cats' is distributed in II without being distributed in any of the premises, so conclusion II cannot follow. Thus, only I follows.
