    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: Some Cricket are Football. Some Volleyball are Football. No Football is Tennis. Conclusions: I. No Cricket is Tennis. II. Some Cricket are Volleyball. III. Some Volleyball are Tennis.

    C Both conclusion I and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the conclusions follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Cricket are Football (I) + No Football is Tennis (E) → Some Cricket are not Tennis (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow.

Some Volleyball are Football (I) + No Football is Tennis (E) → Some Volleyball are not Tennis (O). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
