Question

    Read the given statements and conclusions carefully.

    Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All parallel are tangents. All tangents are sectors. Conclusions: I. All parallel are sectors. II. No parallel is a sector.
    A Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Either conclusion I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of These Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All parallel are tangents (A) + All tangents are sectors (A) → All parallel are sectors (A). Hence conclusion I follows but conclusion II does not follow.
