Question 1
Statements:
All methods are theories.
No theories is a systems.
Conclusions:
I. Some systems are methods.
II. No systems is a methods.
Complementary Pair Concept:
Conclusions I and II form a complementary pair: "Some systems are methods" and "No systems is a methods"
These are opposite statements - at least one MUST be true.
Venn Diagram Method:
Step 1: "All methods are theories" → Circle of methods inside theories
Step 2: "No theories is a systems" → Circles of theories and systems completely separate
Step 3: Since methods is inside theories, and theories is separate from systems, then methods is also separate from systems
Step 4: Result: "No systems is a methods" is TRUE
Analytical Method:
All methods are theories (A) + No theories is a systems (E) = A + E = E = No methods is a systems
By conversion: No systems is a methods
Either-Or Case:
Since the conclusions form a complementary pair and one is definitely true, answer is "Either-Or".
Answer: Either conclusion I or II follows
