You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follows from the given statements.

    Statements :

    I. Some letters are paper.

    II. All papers are objects.

    III. Some objects are subjects.

    Conclusion:

    I. Some papers are not subjects.

    II. All subjects are objects.

    A Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All papers are objects (A) + Some objects are subjects (I) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence, conclusion I does not follow. Some objects are subjects (I) ⇒ Conversion ⇒ Some subjects are objects (I). Hence conclusion II does not follow.  Alternative Method: Conclusion I: Not necessarily true based on given venn diagram. Conclusion II:  Not necessarily true based on given venn diagram.   Hence, option (4) is the correct answer.
