    In the question below there are three statements followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    Statements : Every Clock is Time Every

    Clock is Second A few Minute are Second No Needle is Time Conclusions : I. A few Minute are Time II. No Time is Needle III. A few Minute is Needle
    A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Every Clock is Time (A) → Conversion → Some Time are Clock (I) + Every Clock is Second (A) → Some Time are Second (I) + A few Minute are Second (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follows. Every Clock is Time (A) + [No Needle is Time (E) → Conversion] → No Time is Needle (E) → No Clock is Needle (E). Hence conclusion II follows.
