    In the question below there are three statements followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follow from the three statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    Statements: Some Flowers are Plants.

    >Only a Few Plants are Roses. No Rose is Shrub. Conclusions: I. 100% Plants can be Roses. II. Some Roses cannot be Flowers. III. No Flower is a Rose.
    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Either conclusion II or III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only a Few Plants are Roses (I) → Some Plants are Roses (I) and Some Plants are not Roses (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Flowers are Plants (I) + Only a Few Plants are Roses (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion II nor III follow.
