Answer 1

Answer:

only 1 fallows is correct answer

Answer 2

Only I follow.

• It is given in the question that some gi.rls are thieves and all thieves are cons.
• Now, we can say that as some gi.rls come under the category of thieves and all the thieves come under the category of cons thus some gi.rl thieves will also be cons.
• That indeed means that some gi.rls are cons. But, we cannot say the other way round as all thieves are not gi.rls.
• Thus, not all conc are gi.rls, and only some gi.rls are cons.
• As a result, only the first statement follows.
