    followed by two conclusions I and II. 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: Some Diamonds are Silvers. Some Silvers are Golds. All Silvers are Solitaires. Conclusions: I. Some Golds are Solitaires. II. Some Diamonds are not Solitaires.
    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either conclusion I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Few Silvers are Golds (I) → Conversion → Some Golds are Silvers (I) + All Silvers are Solitaires (A) → Some Golds are Solitaires (I).  Hence conclusion I follows. Some Diamonds are Silvers (I) + All Silvers are Solitaires (A) → Some Diamonds are Solitaires (I).  Hence conclusion II does not follow.
