    statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows the given statements. Statements: All FG is XC. Some QQ is FG. All XC is HY. Conclusions: I. Some FG is not HY. II. Some QQ is HY. III. All FG is HY.
    A Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C None of the above conclusion follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All FG is XC (A) + All XC is HY (A) → All FG is HY (A). Hence conclusion I does not follow but conclusion III follows. Some QQ is FG (I) + All FG is XC (A) → Some QQ is XC (I) + All XC is HY (A) → Some QQ is HY (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
