In the question three statements are given, followed by three conclusions, I, II and III. You have to consider the statements to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follows from the given statements.

Statement

II. Some grinders are squeezers

III. All grinders are juicers

A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D All conclusions I, II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Some toasters are squeezers (I) → conversion → Some squeezers are toasters (I) + All toasters is juicers (A) → Some squeezers are juicers (I). Hence conclusion I follows. Some toasters are squeezers (I) → conversion → Some squeezers are toasters (I) + All toasters are grinders (A) → Some squeezers are grinders (I). → Conversion → Some grinders are squeezers (I). Hence conclusion I follows. All toasters are grinders → conversion → Some grinders are toasters (I) + All toasters are juicers (A) → Some grinders are juicers (I). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
