B. Only conclusion I follow
C. Only conclusions I and II follow
D. Only conclusions II and III follow
Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
Right Answer is: C
SOLUTION
The least possible Venn- diagram is-
Conclusions:
I. Some carpenters are mechanics(It follows as All technicians are mechanics.)
II. Some mechanics are technicians (It also follows as All technicians are mechanics.)
III. All carpenters are mechanics(It does not follow as its just a possibility but not surety.)
So, only conclusions I and II follow.
Hence, option (C) is the correct response.
