Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some passage are chapter Only a few chapter are data No chapter is topic Conclusions: I. Some topic are not data II. All chapter can be data

    B Either conclusion I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No chapter is topic (E) → Conversion → No topic is chapter (E) + Only a few chapter are data (I) → Some data are not topic (O*). Hence conclusion I does not follow.

    Only a few chapter are data → Some chapter are data (I) and Some chapter are not data (O). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
