    given, followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the statement/statements to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follows from the given statements. Statements: Some basics are learnings. All learnings are manners. No manner is behaviour. Conclusion: I.

    A Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both I and II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some basics are learnings (I) + All learnings are manners (A) → Some basics are manners (I) + No manner is behaviour (E) → Some basics are not behaviours (O) → Probable conclusion → Some behaviour may be basic (I). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some basics are learnings (I) + All learnings are manners (A) → Some basics are manners (I) → Probable conclusion → All basic may be manners (I). Hence conclusion II follows.-1
