(Fact 1): All cats like to run. $\newline$ (Fact 2): Some cats like to swim. $\newline$ (Fact 3): Some cats look like their masters.
If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact?
(I): All cats who like to swim look like their masters. $\newline$ (II): cats who like to swim also like to run. $\newline$ (III): cats who like to run do not look like their masters.

I only

II only

II and III only

None of the statements is a known fact.

Correct Option: 2

Only Conclusion II makes sense. Conclusion I is wrong, the cats who like to swim don't necessarily look like their masters, they could be different cats. Conclusion III is wrong because all cats like to run, hence some must like their masters, but the conclusion says otherwise.
