    Question

    In the question below some statements are given

    followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Only a few Often is Perhaps. All Sudden is Perhaps. Only Perhaps is Frequent. Conclusion: I. Some Sudden can be Often. II. Some Frequent are Sudden. III. Every Perhaps cannot be Sudden.
    A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only a few Often is Perhaps (I) + [All Sudden is Perhaps (A) → Conversion] → Some Perhaps are Sudden (I) → Probable conclusion → Some Sudden can be Often (I). Hence conclusion I follows. Only Perhaps is Frequent → All Frequent are Perhaps and Frequent cannot have positive relation with anyone. Hence conclusion II does not follow but conclusion III follow.
