    Question

    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: I. Some E are P. II. All S are E. Conclusions: I. Some P are not S. II. No S is P. III. Some P are not E.
    A None of the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All S are E (A) + Some E are P (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follow. Some E are P (I) → Conversion → Some P are E (I). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
