Two inclusions into the same superclass: given ‘‘All water is divine’’ and ‘‘All temples are divine’’ decide whether all water is temple or all temples are water necessarily follows.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows

Explanation:

Both subjects are included in the set Divine but no cross relation is given.

  • Premise 1: Water ⊆ Divine.
  • Premise 2: Temples ⊆ Divine.
  • Conclusions: I. All water is temple. II. All temples are water.

Concept/Approach
Two different subclasses of a common superset may be disjoint, equal, or partially overlapping. Without extra information neither direction of inclusion between them is forced.
Testing the conclusions
I would require Water ⊆ Temples, not given. II would require Temples ⊆ Water, also not given. Hence neither conclusion follows.
Verification/Alternative
Model: Divine = {a, b}, Water = {a}, Temples = {b}. Both premises hold while both conclusions fail.
Common pitfalls
Assuming that sharing a superclass implies one subclass contains the other.
Final Answer
Neither I nor II follows.
