Two statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All wallets are bags. Some bags are envelopes. Conclusions: I. Some wallets are envelopes. II. No wallet is an envelope. III. No bag is an envelope.

Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All wallets are bags. Some bags are envelopes. Conclusions: I. Some wallets are envelopes. II. No wallet is an envelope. III. No bag is an envelope. Correct Answer Either Conclusion I or II follows
The least possible Venn Diagram for the given data is:Conclusions:
I. Some wallets are envelopes → it is possible but not definite, hence false.
II. No wallet is an envelope → it is possible but not definite, hence false.
III. No bag is an envelope → it is false.
None of the conclusions are true but conclusions I and II form a complementary pair.
Hence, either conclusion I or II follows.
