Project ForgeGiven below are two statements followed by two conclusions. Assuming these statements to be true, decide which one logically follows.
Statements: I. All film stars are playback singers. II. All film directors are film stars.
Conclusions: I. All film directors are playback singers. II. Some film stars are film directors.
- AOnly conclusion I follows.
- BOnly conclusion II follows.
- CNeither conclusion I nor II follows.
- Both conclusions I and II follow.
Explanation
Since all film directors are film stars (II), and all film stars are playback singers (I), every film director is a playback singer — Conclusion I follows by chaining the two containments. Since every film director is also a film star, and there is at least one film director, that same individual is a film star who is a film director — Conclusion II ('Some film stars are film directors') also follows. Both conclusions follow.
