    In this question, three statements are given, followed

    by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follows/follow from the statements. Statements: All laptops are computers. All computers are technicians. Some technicians are master. Conclusions: I. All master are laptops. II. Some master are computers.
    A Only conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both conclusions I and II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither conclusion I nor II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All laptops are computers (A) + All computers are technicians (A) → All laptops are technicians (A) + Some technicians are master (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All computers are technicians (A) + Some technicians are master (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
