    followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to take the three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some Cycles are Trains. Only Trains are Car. Some Trains are not Bike. Conclusion: I. Some Car are Cycles II. Some Bike can be Cycles.
    A Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only Trains are Car → All Car are Trains and Car cannot have any positive relation with anyone. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Cycles are Trains (I) + Some Trains are not Bike (O) → Probable conclusion → Some Bike can be Cycles (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
