    Question

    Three statements are given followed by three

    conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusion logically follow[s] from the statements. Statements: Few Jars are Mugs No Mugs are Jugs All Jars are Container Conclusion: I. Some Jugs are Jars II. No Jugs are Container
    A Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusions I nor II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Few Jars are Mugs (I) + No Mugs are Jugs (E) → Some Jars are not Jugs (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. All Jars are Container (A) → Conversion → All Container are Jars (A) + Some Jars are not Jugs (O) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
