    Question

    Two statements are given, followed by three conclusions

    numbered I. II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some bottles are cans. No can is carton. Conclusions: I. No bottle is a carton. II. Some cans are bottles. III. No carton is a bottle.
    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C All the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some bottles are cans (I) + No can is carton (E) → Some bottles are not cartons (O). Hence neither conclusion I nor III follow. Some bottles are cans (I) → Conversion → Some cans are bottles (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
