Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This problem involves set inclusions. We must check if the provided conclusions necessarily follow from the premises about doctors, teachers, and counsellors.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Use transitivity of subset and existence from 'some'. If some doctors are teachers and all teachers are counsellors, then those doctor-teachers are counsellors, implying 'Some doctors are counsellors'. However, 'Some counsellors are not teachers' introduces a negative that is not supported by the premises.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
A model where Teachers = Counsellors makes I false but II true. As long as at least one doctor is a teacher, II follows.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming a larger set necessarily contains elements outside a subset without evidence.
Final Answer:
Only conclusion II follows.
