    Statements: All actors are producers. Some

    producers are not directors. Conclusions: I. Some directors are actors. II. All producers are actors. In each question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the two given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Give Answer:
    A If only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either conclusion I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All actors are producers (A) + Some producers are not directors (O) = No conclusion. Hence, conclusion I will not follow. All actors are producers (A) ⇒ Conversion ⇒ Some producers are actors (I). Hence, conclusion II will also not follow.
