The statements below are followed by four conclusions labeled |, 2, 3 and 4. Assuming that the information in the4 statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with generally established facts, decide which conclusion(s) logically and definitely follow(s) from the information given in the statements. Statements: I. No lion is herbivore. II. All herbivores are mammals. Conclusions: 1) No lion is mammal. 2) No mammal is lion. 3) Some mammals are herbivores. 4) All the mammals are herbivores Correct Answer Only (3) follows

The least possible Venn Diagram is as follows:

Conclusions:

1) No lion is mammal = It is possible but not definite, hence false.

2) No mammal is lion = It is possible but not definite, hence false

3) Some mammals are herbivores = True.

4) All the mammals are herbivores = It is possible but not definite, hence false.

Hence, only (3) follows.
