    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. Statements: Some Consignments are Trackers. Only Trackers are Universal. Some Trackers are not Transaction. Conclusion: I. Some Universal are Consignments II. Some Transaction can be Consignments.
    A Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only Trackers are Universal → All Universal are Trackers and Universal cannot have any positive relation with anyone. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Consignments are Trackers (I) + Some Trackers are not Transaction (O) → Probable conclusion → Some Transaction can be Consignments (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
