    Read the given statements and conclusions carefully.

    Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All Sofa are Flower. No Flower is Wall. Some Wall are Pot. Conclusions: I. Some Sofa are Pot. II. No Flower is Pot III. No Sofa is Wall.
    A All the conclusions follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Sofa are Flower (A) + No Flower is Wall (E) → No Sofa is Wall (E) + Some Wall are Pot (I) → Some Pot are not Sofa (O*). Hence conclusion I does not follow but conclusion III follows. No Flower is Wall (E) + Some Wall are Pot (I) → Some Pot are not Flower (O*). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
