    Question

    Three statements are given followed by three

    conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: No bottle is a cup. All bottle are plates. Some plates are spoons. Conclusions: I. All plates can never be cup. II. No bottle is spoon. III. At least some spoons are bottle.
    A Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No bottle is a cup (E) → Conversion → No cup is a bottle (E) + All bottle are plates (A) → Some plates are not cup (O*) → Probable conclusion → All plates can never be cup (A). Hence conclusion I follows. All bottle are plates (A) + Some plates are spoons (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion II nor III follow.
