Question

    Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. 

    Statements: All bats are wickets. No

    bat is a field. Conclusions: (I) No wicket is a field. (II) Some fields are bat. 
    A Only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both conclusion I and II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusion I nor II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All bats are wickets (A) → Conversion → Some wickets are bats (I) + No bat is a field (E) → Some wickets are not field (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. No bat is a field (E) → Conversion → No field is a bat (E). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
