Statements: Some doctors are fools. Some fools are rich. Conclusions: I. Some doctors are rich. II. Some rich are doctors.

Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows

Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows

Solution

The statements only tell us that some doctors are fools and some fools are rich. The fools in the first statement need not be the same fools in the second, so no direct relation between doctors and rich is guaranteed.
