    Question

    Two statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II, and III assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Decide which of conclusion logically follow(s) from the statement.

    Statements:

    Some apple is pear

    All banana is apple

    Conclusions:

    I. No banana is pear

    II. Some apple is banana

    III. Some banana being pear is a possibility

    A All conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only the conclusion I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only the conclusion II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All banana is apple (A) + Some apple is pear (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All banana is apple (A) → Conversion → Some apple is banana (I). Hence conclusion II follows. All banana is apple (A) + Some apple is pear (I) → Probable conclusion → Some banana may be pear (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
