    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 Paint are Wall. No Wall is Decor. All Door are Decor. Conclusions: I. No Paint is Door. II. Some Paint are Decor.
    A Only conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both conclusion I and II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither conclusion I nor II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Door are Decor (A) + No Decor is Wall (E) → No Door is Wall (E) → Conversion → No Wall is Door (E). All Paint are Wall (A) + No Wall is Door (E) → No Paint is Door (E). Hence conclusion I follows. All Paint are Wall (A) + No Wall is Decor (E) → No Paint is Decor (E). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
