    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. Statements: Some Plot are Land. Only a few Land are Capital. Some Capital are Labour. Conclusions: I. Some Labour are not Plot. II. No Land being Labour is a possibility. III. All Plot are Capital.
    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 Plot are Land (I) + Only a few Land are Capital (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follow.

    Only a few Land are Capital (I) + Some Capital are Labour (I) → Probable conclusion→ No Land may be Labour (E). Hence conclusion II follows.
