In the question below there are three statements followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to take the three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    A few stars are satellites (I) + All satellites are planets (A) → Some stars are planets (I) → Probable conclusion → All stars may be planets (A). Hence conclusion I does not follow. 8% rays are satellites (I) + All satellites are planets (A) → Some rays are planets (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
