    Question

    Three statements are given followed by three

    conclusions numbered I, II and III. 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: Some Skirt is Shirt All Shirt is Sweater No Sweater is Cap Conclusions: I. No Shirt is Cap II. Some Sweater is Skirt III. Some Skirt is Cap
    A Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Shirt is Sweater (A) + No Sweater is Cap (E) → No Shirt is Cap (E). Hence conclusion I follows. Some Skirt is Shirt (I) + All Shirt is Sweater (A) → Some Skirt is Sweater (I). Hence conclusion II follows. Some Skirt is Sweater (I) + No Sweater is Cap (E) → Some Skirt is not Cap (E). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
