    followed by two conclusions I and II. 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 follows from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some height is weight Mostly weight is scale All scale is distance Conclusions: I. Some distance is height II. Some distance is weight
    A Both conclusion I and conclusion 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 conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Either conclusion I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some height is weight (I) + Mostly weight is scale (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Mostly weight is scale (I) + All scale is distance (A) → Some weight is distance (I) → conversion → Some distance is weight (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
