Question

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

    Statements:

    All balls are bats.

    Some umpires are bats.

    Some players are umpires.

    Conclusions:

    I. Some players are bats.

    II. Some umpires are balls.

    III. Some umpires are players.

    A Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I and II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I + I = No conclusion. Hence, conclusion I will not follow.  A + I = No conclusion. Hence, conclusion II will also not follow. Some players are umpires (I) = conversion = Some umpires are players(I). Hence, conclusion III will follow.
