Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions. Statements: All Weapon are Sword All Sword are Screw No Screw are Wrench Conclusion: I. All Screw are Weapon II. No Sword are Wrench III. All Weapon are Screw

    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Weapon are Sword (A) + All Sword are Screw (A) → All Weapon are Screw (A) → Conversion → Some Screw are Weapon (I). Hence conclusion I does not follow but conclusion III follows. All Sword are Screw (A) + No Screw are Wrench (E) → No Sword are Wrench (E). Hence conclusion II follows.
