All Asians are wise
All Chinese are Asian
Therefore,

A

Some Chinese are wise

B

All wise are chinese

C

All Chinese are wise

D

No conclusion follows

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Since both the Premises are Universal Affirmative (A-type) and these can be aligned by changing the order of Premises, the Conclusion should be Universal Affirmative.

Therefore, All Chinese are wise.
This is conclusion (3).
Here, it should be noted that the Conclusion given in option (1) is the implication of the derived Conclusion and hence it is also valid.
