  • Question
  • All windows are doors. No door is wall Conclusions: 1. No window is wall 2. No Wall is door


  • Options
  • A. Only 1 follows
  • B. Only 2 follows
  • C. Either 1 or 2 follows
  • D. Both 1 and 2 follow

  • Correct Answer
  • Both 1 and 2 follow 

    Explanation

    Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative. Also, the conclusion should not contain the middle term. So, 1 follows.

     

    However, 2 is the converse of the second premise and thus it also holds.
