Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming 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:
1. All squares are rectangles.
2. All rectangles are polygons.
Conclusions:
I. Square is not a polygon.
II. Square is both rectangle and polygon.
The basic diagram for the given statements is
I. Square is not a polygon
From the basic diagram, every square is a polygon. Hence conclusion I do not follow.
II. Square is both rectangle and polygon
From the basic diagram, every square is both rectangle and polygon. Hence conclusion II follows.
$$\therefore\ $$Only conclusion II follows the given statements
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
