You have to take the 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 follow(s) from the given statements.

    Statement Only a few Mirrors are Shadows

    No Shadow is a Reflection All Mirrors are Refractions Conclusion I. Some Mirrors are not Reflections II. Some Refractions are Shadows III. All Refractions can never be Reflections
    A All Follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only I follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Mirrors are Shadows (I) + No Shadow is a Reflection (E) → Some Mirrors are not Reflections (O). Hence conclusion I follows. Some Mirrors are Shadows (I) → Conversion → Some Shadows are Mirrors (I) + All Mirrors are Refractions (A) → Some Shadows are refractions (I) → Conversion → Some Refractions are Shadows (I). Hence conclusion II follows. Some Mirrors are Shadows (I) + No Shadow is a Reflection (E) → Some Mirrors are not Reflections (O). All Mirrors are Refractions (A) → Conversion → Some refractions are mirrors (I) + Some Mirrors are not Reflections (O) → Probable conclusion → All Refractions can never be Reflections (A). Hence conclusion III follows.
