    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: 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.
