Taking 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 follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:

All U are M.

All G are M.

Conclusion:

(I) Some G are U.

(II) Some are M.

Options:

Only conclusion I follows 

Both conclusion I and II follow 

Only conclusion II follows 

Neither conclusion follows 

Correct Answer:

Only conclusion II follows 

Explanation:

A Venn diagram based on the statements given is:

1. There is no clear overlap between G and U, thus conclusion I does not follow.

2. Some G are definitely M, thus conclusion II follows.
