Question

Statements : All pens are roads. All roads are houses.
Conclusions :
I. All houses are pens.
II. Some houses are pens.

Options:

A . Only conclusion I follows

B . Only conclusion II follows

C . Either I or II follows

D . Neither I nor II follows

E . Both I and II follow

Answer: Option B
Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'All pens are houses'. II is the converse of this conclusion and so it holds. Since the term 'houses' is distributed in I without being distributed in any of the premises, so I does not follow.
