      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: Only few colours are paints. Only a few paints are walls. No wall is circle. Conclusions: I: Some circles are paints. II: No colour being wall is a possibility.

      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

      Only a few paints are walls (I) + No wall is circle (E) → Some paints are not circle (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Only few colours are paints (I) + Only a few paints are walls (I) → Probable conclusion → No colour may be wall (E). Hence conclusion II follows.
