In each of the questions below are given four statements followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III, You have take the given statement to be true even if they seen to be variance from commonly known facts. Read all conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements: Some leaves are flowers. No flower is fruit. Some fruits are branches. Some branches are stems.
Conclusions : I. Some leaves are either stems or fruits
II. All leaves are either stems or fruits
III. All stems are either branches or fruits.
The Venn diagram for the syllogism is as shown below. We draw a scenario that satisfies the statements.
Conclusion I is not implied because none of the leaves are either stems or fruits in this scenario.
Similarly, conclusion II and III are also not implied in this scenario. So, they are not universally true.
Hence we choose option (e)
