Statements: All good athletes win. All good athletes eat well. Conclusions: All those who eat well are good athletes. All those who win eat well.

Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows

Explanation:

Since the middle term 'good athletes' is distributed twice in the premises, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So it follows that 'Some of those who win, eat well'.
