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:

    All Roses are Lotus

    A few Lotus are Sunflower

    No Sunflower are Tulip

    Conclusions:

    I. A few Tulip being Lotus is a possibility

    II. Some Roses are not Tulip

    A Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Lotus are Sunflower (I) + No Sunflower are Tulip (E) → Some Lotus are not Tulip (O) → Probable conclusion → A few Tulip may be Lotus (I). Hence conclusion I follows. All Roses are Lotus (A) + Some Lotus are Sunflower (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follow.
