Banking Exams Reasoning — Question 1835

Question

Statements: All roses are flowers. Some flowers are red. Conclusions: I. Some roses are red. II. Some flowers are roses. Which conclusion(s) follow?

  1. Only I follows
  2. Only II follows
  3. Both I and II follow
  4. Neither I nor II follows

Correct answer

B — Only II follows

Explanation (English)

The red flowers need not be roses, so I does not follow. Since all roses are flowers, at least some flowers are roses (valid converse), so II follows. Only II follows.
