    Question

    Read the given statements and conclusions carefully.

    Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some Train are Car. No Car is a Cycle. All Cycle are Bicycles. Conclusions: I. Some Bicycles are not Car. II. Some Train are not Bicycles. III. Some Train are not Cycle.
    A All the conclusions I, II and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No Car is a Cycle (E) + All Cycle are Bicycles (A) → Some Bicycles are not Car (O*). Hence conclusion I follows. Some Train are Car (I) + No Car is a Cycle (E) → Some Train are not Cycle (O) + All Cycle are Bicycles (A) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow but conclusion III follows.
