    Statements:       No apple is an orange.

    >                                All oranges are grapes.                                 No grapes is a banana. Conclusions:      I. Some apple are not grapes. II. No oranges is a banana. In each question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the two given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give Answer:
    A If only conclusion I follows; Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion II follows; Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either I or II follows; Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither I nor II follows; Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both I and II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No apple is an orange (E) + All oranges are grapes (A) = some grapes are not apple (O*). Hence, conclusion I will not follow. All oranges are grapes (A) + No grapes is a banana (E) = No orange is a banana (E). Hence, conclusion II will follow.
