Question

    In each of the questions below. Some statements are given followed by conclusions/group of conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume all the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from the commonly known facts and then decide which of the given two conclusions logically follows from the information given in the statements.

    Statements: Only Tool is Screw Some

    Tool is Nut All Nut are Bolt Conclusions: I. All Nut can be Tool II. All Screw can Bolt
    A 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 follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Tool is Nut (I) → Probable conclusion → All Nut may be Tool (A). Hence conclusion I follows. Only Tool is Screw → All Screw are Tool (A) and Screw cannot have any positive relation with anyone. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
