    Question

    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: Some Lip are Hand No Leg is Ear All Leg Are Hand Conclusions: I. Some Hand are Ear II. Some Leg are Lip III. No Hand is Ear.
    A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion III follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I and conclusion II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Either conclusion I or conclusion III follows and conclusion II doesn’t follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No Leg is Ear (E) → Conversion → No Ear is Leg (E) + All Leg Are Hand (A) → Some Hand are not Ear (O*). Hence neither conclusion I nor II follows bit it will make a complementary pair. Hence either conclusion I or II follows.
