    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 flowers are buds. No bud is petal. Conclusions: I. No flower is a petal. II. Some buds are flowers. III. No petal is a flower.
    A Only conclusions II and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions I and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some flowers are buds (I) + No bud is petal (E) → Some flowers are not petals (O). Hence neither conclusion I nor III follow. Some flowers are buds (I) → Conversion → Some buds are flowers (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
