Question

    In the question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be in variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    Statements:

    All Planets are Satellites.

    Only few Satellites are Comets.

    Only few Comets are Constellation.

    No Constellation is a Meteors.

    Conclusions:

    I. Some Comets not being Constellation is a possibility.

    II. Some Planets are Comets.

    III. Some Satellites being Meteors is a possibility.

    A Only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both conclusion I and II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion III follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusion II and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only few Comets are Constellation → Some Comets are Constellation (I) and Some Comets are not Constellation (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. All Planets are Satellites (A) + Some Satellites are Comets (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. Some Satellites are Comets (I) + Some Comets are Constellation (I) → Probable conclusion → Some Satellites are Constellation (I) + No Constellation is a Meteors (E) → Some Satellites are not Meteors (O) → Probable conclusion → Some Satellites meteors be Meteors (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
