    Question

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

    Statements: Some guitars are harmoniums.

    No harmonium is a sitar.

    Conclusions: I. Some guitars are not sitars.

    II. Some sitars are not guitars.

    A If only conclusion I follows; Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion II follows; Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either I or II follows; Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither I nor II follows; Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both I and II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some guitars are harmoniums (I) + No harmonium is sitar (E) = some guitars are not sitars (O). Hence, conclusion I will follow. Since, O type propositions cannot be converted, conclusion II will not follow.
