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 definitely follows from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    Statements: Only a few Triangle are Circle.

    Some Circle are Square. Only Square are Rectangle . No Circle is a Cuboid. Conclusion: I. Some square are definitely not Cuboid. II. Some Rectangle can be Cuboid. III. No Circle being a Rectangle is a possibility.
    A Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I and conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II and conclusion III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Circle are Square (I) → Conversion → Some Square are Circle (I) + No Circle is a Cuboid (E) → Some Square are not Cuboid (O) → Probable conclusion → Some Square may not be Cuboid (I). Hence conclusion I follows. Only Square are Rectangle → All Rectangle are Square and Rectangle cannot have any positive relationship with anyone. Hence neither conclusion II nor III follow.
