Statements: All birds can fly. Penguins are birds. Conclusion: Penguins can fly.
ABoth A and B
BNeither
CLogically valid (within given premises)
DFactually wrong (penguins don't fly)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Both A and B
In syllogism, we check LOGICAL validity within given premises (taking them as true). 'All birds fly' + 'penguins are birds' → 'penguins fly' is logically valid. Factually wrong because the first premise is wrong (not all birds fly). Tests both forms of reasoning.
