      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 Hen are Seed No Seed are Egg All Yolk are Egg Conclusions: I. Some Hen are not Egg II. Some Yolk are not Seed III. Few Yolk are Hen
      A Only Conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only Conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only Conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only Conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      All Hen are Seed (A) + No Seed are Egg (E) → No Hen is a Egg (E) → Conversion → No Egg is a Hen (E) → Conversion → Some Hen are not Egg (O). Hence conclusion I follows but conclusion III does not follow. All Yolk are Egg (A) + No Egg are Seed (E) → No Yolk is a Seed (E) → Conversion → No Seed is a Yolk (E) → Conversion → Some Yolk are not Seed (O). Hence conclusion II follows.
