    Question

    Read the given statements and conclusion carefully.

    Assuming the information given in the statement is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All Cashew are Nut. Some Cashew are not Almond. A few Raisin are Almond. Conclusion: I. All Nut can never be Almond. II. A few Raisin are not Cashew. III. Some Almond are not Nut.
    A Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Cashew are Nut (A) → Conversion → Some Nut are Cashew (I) + Some Cashew are not Almond (O) → Probable conclusion → All Nut can never be Almond (A). Hence conclusion I follows but conclusion III does not follow. Some Cashew are not Almond (O) + A few Raisin are Almond (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
