Question

    Two statements are given, followed by two conclusions

    numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at a variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All Parameter are Standard. Some Standard are Status. Conclusions: I. Some Status are not Standard. II. Some Standard are Parameter.
    A Both conclusion I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Standard are Status (I) → Conversion → Some Status are not Standard (I). Hence conclusion I does not follow. All Parameter are Standard (A) → Conversion → Some Standard are Parameter (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
