In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. 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 B are V.

All K are B.

Conclusion:

(I) All K are V.

(II) No V is B.

Options:

Both conclusion I and II follow 

Neither conclusion follows 

Only conclusion I follows 

Only conclusion II follows 

Correct Answer:

Only conclusion I follows 

Explanation:

A Venn diagram based on the statements is:

1. All K are V, thus conclusion I follows.

2. B is contained in V, thus some V is B and thus, conclusion II does not follow.
