    Question

    Three statements are given, followed by two

    conclusions numbered I and II. 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: No Painter are Teacher Some Dentist are Teacher All Lawyers are Dentist Conclusions: I. All Lawyers are Painter II. Some Dentist are not Painter
    A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Lawyers are Dentist (A) + Some Dentist are Teacher (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Dentist are Teacher (I) + No Teacher are Painter (E) → Some Dentist are not Painter (O). Hence conclusion II follows.
