    Question

    In the question below some statements are given

    followed by three conclusions I, II, and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some Ice is Cold. Some Cold is Hot. No Cold is Solid. Conclusions: I. Some Ice is Hot. II. No Hot is Solid. III. No Ice is Hot.
    A Only Conclusion I follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only Conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either Conclusion I or III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Ice is Cold (I) + Some Cold is Hot (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follow but it will make a complementary pair. Hence either conclusion I or III follow. Some Cold is Hot (I) → Conversion → Some Hot is Cold (I) + No Cold is Solid (E) → Some Hot is not Solid (O). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
