Question

Provide a Venn diagram and specify whether the following argument is valid or invalid:

No mammals are reptiles.

Some reptiles are gators.

Hence, some gators are not mammals.

Answer 1

Answer:

Given argument is valid

Step-by-step explanation:

In venn diagram

M=Mammals

R=Reptiles

G=Gators

Given that

No mammals are reptiles ,So in the diagram we indicates by cross sign(x).Also given that some reptiles are gators ,so venn diagram of reptiles and gators will cross each other.

But from  the above statement we can say that those gators are reptiles can not be mammals but  those are not reptiles they can be mammals.Hence some gators are not mammals.

So given argument is valid
