Logical Reasoning Question on Syllogisms
In the question, two statements are followed by two inferences. Mark your answer as:-
All Peter are Piper. Some Pickle are Piper
I. Some Peter are Pickle
II. Some Pickle are Peter
A
Only inference I follows
B
Only inference II follows
C
Both of them follow
D
Neither of them follows
Answer
Neither of them follows
Explanation
Solution
Inference I does not follow. Just because some Pickle are Piper and all Peter are Piper does not imply that any Peter are Pickle.
Inference II does not follow for the same reason. There’s no direct relationship established between Peter and Pickle based solely on the given statements.
The correct option is (D): Neither of them follows
