Question

    In the question below some statements are given

    followed by three conclusions I, II, and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: All High is Low No Low is Medium All Medium is Extreme Conclusions: I. Some Medium is not High II. Some Extreme is Low III. No High is Extreme
    A Only Conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only Conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only Conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All Conclusions I, II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All High is Low (A) + No Low is Medium (E) → No High is Medium (E) → Conversion → Some Medium is not High (O). Hence conclusion I follows but conclusion III does not follows. No Low is Medium (E) + All Medium is Extreme (A) → Some Extreme are not Low (O*). Hence conclusion II does not follows.
