    Statements: Only a few Planet is Mars. No

    Mars is Pluto. Only Pluto is Saturn. Conclusions: I. Some Saturn can never be Mars. II. All Mars being Planet is a possibility. III. No Pluto is Planet. In the question below, there are three statements followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follow from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts.
    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above conclusions follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only Pluto is Saturn → All Saturn are Pluto and Saturn can have negative relation. Hence conclusion I follows. Only a few Planet is Mars → Probable conclusion → All Mars may be Planet (A). Hence conclusion II follows. Only a few Planet is Mars (I) + No Mars is Pluto (E) → Some Pluto are not Planet (O*). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
