    In the question below there are three statements

    followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to take the three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some Applications are Systems. Only Systems are Hardware. Some Systems are not Software. Conclusion: I. Some Hardware are Applications II. Some Software can be Applications.
    A Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only Systems are Hardware → All Hardware are Systems and Hardware cannot have any positive relation with anyone. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Applications are Systems (I) + Some Systems are not Software (O) → Probable conclusion → Some Software can be Applications (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
