    Question

    Three 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: Only a few Upper are Down. Few Down are Lower. All Lower are High. Conclusions: I. No Upper is Lower. II. Some Down are High.   III. Some High are not Upper.
    A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only a few Upper are Down (I) + Few Down are Lower (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follow. Few Down are Lower (I) + All Lower are High (A) → Some Down are High (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
