Question 122

Choose the set in which the statements are most logically related.
A. Some mammals are carnivores.
B. All whales are mammals.
C. All whales are aquatic animals.
D. All whales are carnivores.
E. Some aquatic animals are mammals.
F. Some mammals are whales.

Solution

ADF is false as we cannot infer F(Some mammals are whales.) even if A(Some mammals are carnivores.) and D(All whales are carnivores.) are true.

ABC and  AEF all statements are different, the set is not related.

All whales are mammals and all whales are aquatic animals. So, some aquatic animals are mammals. Therefore, BCE is valid combination.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
