    followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: All Ribbons are Threads. Some Threads are Balloons. No Balloon is Cake. Conclusions: I. Some Threads are not Cakes. II. Some Cakes are Ribbons. III. All Threads are Ribbons.
    A Only Conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only Conclusion I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only Conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only Conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Threads are Balloons (I) + No Balloon is Cake (E) → Some Threads are not Cakes (O). Hence conclusion I follows. All Ribbons are Threads (A) + Some Threads are Balloons (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. All Ribbons are Threads (A) → Conversion → Some Threads are Ribbons (I). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
