Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

    Statements:

    No Onion are Radish

    No Radish is Coriander

    B Only Conclusion II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only Conclusion III and I follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only Conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the conclusions follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only Onion are Carrot → All Carrot are Onion (A) and Carrot cannot have any positive relation with anyone. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follow. No Onion are Radish (E) → Conversion → Some Radish are not Onion (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
