      Question

      Two 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 conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some jokers are caps. All caps are clowns. Conclusions: I. Some clowns are jokers. II. All clowns are jokers. III. No clown is a joker.
      A Only conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only conclusions II and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only conclusion III follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only conclusions I and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Some jokers are caps (I) + All caps are clowns (A) → Some jokers are clowns (I) → Conversion → Some clowns are jokers (I). Hence conclusion I follows but conclusion II and III do not follow.
