    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 years are days. All days are months. Conclusions: I. All days are years. II. Some months are days. III. No day is a year.
    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All years are days (A) → Conversion → Some days are years (I). Hence neither conclusion I nor III follow. All days are months (A) → Conversion → Some months are days (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
