Statements: Some Ornament is Bangle No Bangle is Necklace Only a few Necklace is Platinum Conclusion: I. All Necklace can be Ornament. II. Some Ornament is Platinum III. Some Platinum is not Bangle. IV. No Ornament is Platinum.
      A Only conclusion I and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Both conclusion I and III follow and either conclusion II or IV follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Either conclusion II or IV follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Some Ornament is Bangle (I) + No Bangle is Necklace (E) → Some Ornament is not Necklace (O) → Probable conclusion → All Necklace can be Ornament (A). Hence conclusion I follows. Some Ornament is Bangle (I) + No Bangle is Necklace (E) → Some Ornament is not Necklace (O) + Only a few Necklace is Platinum (I) → No conclusion but it will make a complementary pair i.e. I.E. Hence either conclusion II or IV follows. No Bangle is Necklace (E) + Only a few Necklace is Platinum (I) → Some Bangle is not Platinum (O). Hence conclusion III follows.
