Statements: All flowers are trees. No fruit is tree.
Conclusions:
- No fruit is flower.
- Some trees are flowers.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
As discussed above, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No flower is fruit'. I is the converse of this conclusion and thus it follows. II is the converse of the first premise and so it also holds.
