    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: All Deals are Coupons All Coupons are Offers Some Coupons are Sales Conclusions: I. Some Offers are Sales II. Some Sales are Deals III. Some Coupons are Offers
    A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C All of the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Coupons are Sales (I) → Conversion → Some Sales are Coupons (A) + All Coupons are Offers (A) → Some Sales are Offers (I). Hence conclusion I follows.

    All Deals are Coupons (A) + Some Coupons are Sales (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow.

    All Coupons are Offers (A) → I.I. → Some Coupons are Offers (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
