Question

    Two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

    Statements:

    Some watches are clocks.

    Some clocks are minutes.

    Conclusions:

    I. Some minutes are watches.

    II. All minutes are watches.

    A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither conclusion I nor II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusion I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some watches are clocks (I) + Some clocks are minutes (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follow.
