Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some Tamarind is Cumin. All Cumin is Coriander. No Spices is Cumin. All Spices is Coriander. Conclusions: I. Some Spices is not Coriander. II. No Coriander is Tamarind. III. All Coriander can never be Cumin.
    A Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Spices is Coriander (A) → I.I. → Some Spices is Coriander (I). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Tamarind is Cumin (I) + All Cumin is Coriander (A) → Some Tamarind is Coriander (I). Hence conclusion II does not follow. All Cumin is Coriander (A) → Probable conclusion → All Coriander can never be Cumin (A). Hence conclusion III follows.
