      Question

      In the question below there are three statements

      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 four statements disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: 34% raisins are cashews No cashews are almonds A few almonds are nuts Conclusions: I. No cashew is a nut II. Some raisins are almonds
      A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      No cashews are almonds (E) + A few almonds are nuts (I) → Some nuts are not cashews (O*). Hence conclusion I does not follow. 34% raisins are cashews (I) + No cashews are almonds (E) → Some raisins are not almonds (O). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
