Read the statements:

All women are entrepreneurs. Some women are doctors.

Which of the following conclusions can be logically inferred from the above statements?

  • AAll women are doctors
  • BAll doctors are entrepreneurs
  • CAll entrepreneurs are women
  • Some entrepreneurs are doctors

Explanation

Since all women are entrepreneurs, the 'some women' who are doctors are also entrepreneurs (being women). So those same individuals are both entrepreneurs and doctors, meaning 'Some entrepreneurs are doctors' logically follows. The other options overreach: nothing says ALL women are doctors, ALL doctors are entrepreneurs (no info about non-women doctors), or ALL entrepreneurs are women (there could be non-women entrepreneurs).
