Question

    In the question below there are three statements followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to take the three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    Statements:

    No kite is a thread.

    A few threads are needles.

    Only needles are sticks.

    Conclusions:

    I. A few threads may be sticks.

    II. No kite is a needle.

    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only needles are sticks → All sticks are needles and sticks cannot have positive relation with anyone. Hence conclusion I does not follow. No kite is a thread (E) + A few threads are needles (A) → Some needles are not kites (O*). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
