You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

No Book is a Paper

All Papers are Pencils

All Pencils are Pens

Conclusions:

I. Some Bags are not Pens

II. Some Pens are Papers

III. Some Pencils are not Books

IV. Some Papers are Bags

A Only Conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Only Conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Only Conclusions II and IV follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Only Conclusions III and IV follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

No Bag is a Book (E) + No Book is a Paper (E) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor IV follow. All Papers are Pencils (A) + All Pencils are Pens (A) → All Papers are Pens (A) → Conversion → Some Pens are Papers (I). Hence conclusion II follows. No Book is a Paper (E) + All Papers are Pencils (A) → Some Pencils are not Books (O*). Hence conclusion III follows.
