    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 Clock are Time. No Time is Minute. Some Minute are Second. Conclusions: I. Some Clock are Second. II. No Time is Second III. No Clock is Minute.
    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Clock are Time (A) + No Time is Minute (E) → No Clock is Minute (E) + Some Minute are Second (I) → Some Second are not Clock (O*). Hence conclusion I does not follow but conclusion III follows.
    No Time is Minute (E) + Some Minute are Second (I) → Some Second are not Time (O*). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
