Statements:
1. All laptops are computers.
2. Some computers are tablets.
3. All tablets are devices.
Conclusions:
I. Some laptops are devices.
II. Some computers are devices.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
Explanation:
There is no direct connection given between laptops and tablets/devices, so Conclusion I does not follow. Since some computers are tablets, and all tablets are devices, those computers must be devices. Thus, Conclusion II follows.
Explanation:
Since some B are C, and no B is A, the portion of C that is B can never be A. Thus, some C are definitely not A (Conclusion I). However, we do not know if the rest of A interacts with the rest of C, so Conclusion II does not follow.
