      Question

      In the question below there are three statements

      followed by three conclusions I, II and III. 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 three statements disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some uniform are initial. No initial is resist. All resist are speed. Conclusions: I. Some initial are speed. II. Some uniform are speed. III. Some speed are resist.
      A Only conclusion I and conclusion II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      No initial is resist (E) + All resist are speed (A) → Some speed are not initial (O*). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some uniform are initial (I) + No initial is resist (E) → Some uniform are not resist (O) + All resist are speed (A) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. All resist are speed (A) → Conversion → Some speed are resist (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
