      Question

      Read the given statements and conclusions carefully.

      Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All Painting are Drawing. No Drawing is Sketching. Some Sketching are Writing. Conclusions: I. Some Painting are Writing. II. No Drawing is Writing. III. No Painting is Sketching.
      A All the conclusions follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only conclusion I and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only conclusion II and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      All Painting are Drawing (A) + No Drawing is Sketching (E) → No Painting is Sketching (E) + Some Sketching are Writing (I) → Some Writing are not Painting (O*). Hence conclusion I does not follow but conclusion III follows. No Drawing is Sketching (E) + Some Sketching are Writing (I) → Some Writing are not Drawing (O*). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
