Statements: All birds are tall. Some tall are peacocks. Conclusions: I. Some birds are peacocks. II. Some peacocks are tall. Decide which of the below options locally follows the given statement.

  1. Both conclusions I and II follows

  2. Neither conclusion I nor II follows

  3. Only conclusion I follows

  4. Only conclusion II follows

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (D) Only conclusion II follows

Explanation

'Some tall are peacocks' converts to 'Some peacocks are tall', so II follows. All birds are tall, but the tall ones that are peacocks may not be birds in this logic, so 'Some birds are peacocks' is not certain; I does not follow.
