Question

    In the question below there are four statements followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the four 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 follow from the four statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    Statements:       

    Some Dollars are Rupees

    All Rupees are Euros

    Only Pesos are Rubles

    No Ruble is a Euro

    Conclusions:   

    I. No Peso is a Euro

    II. Some Euros are Dollars

    III. Some Euros are Pesos

    A Only III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either I or III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II and either I or III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only Pesos are Rubles + No Ruble is a Euro (E) → → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follows but it will make a complementary pair. Hence either conclusion I or III follows. Some Dollars are Rupees (I) + All Rupees are Euros (A) → Some Dollars are Euros (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
