    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: All Dancers are Painters. Some Painters are Singers. No Painter is Player. Conclusions: I. Some Singers are not Players. II. Some Dancers are Singers. III. Some Singers are Players.
    A Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C All of the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Painters are Singers (I) → Some Singers are Painters (I) + No Painter is Player (E) →   Some Singers are not Players (O). Hence conclusion I follows but conclusion III does not follow. All Dancers are Painters (A) + Some Painters are Singers (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
