Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follows(s) from the statements. Statements: 1. All cars are motors. 2. All motors are cycles. Conclusions: 1. All cycles are cars. 2. All cars are cycles. Correct Answer Only conclusion II follows.
