    >Only a few Light are Lamp. Some Lamp are Torch. Conclusions: I. Some Torch are not Lantern. II. No Light being Torch is a possibility. III. All Lantern are Lamp. In the question below there are three statements followed by three conclusions I, II and III. 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 follow from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts.
    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Either conclusion II or III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Lantern are Light (I) + Only a few Light are Lamp (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follow. Only a few Light are Lamp (I) + Some Lamp are Torch (I) → Probable conclusion→ No Light may be Torch (E). Hence conclusion II follows.
