Direction: In each of the question below are three statements following by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the three given statement to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decided which of the given conclusion logically follows from the three statements disregarding commonly known fact.

  1. Statement:
    All goats are flowers.
    No flower is branch.
    Some branches are roots.

    Conclusions:
    I. Some roots are goats.
    II. No roots are goat.
    1. if conclusion I follow
    2. if conclusion II follows
    3. if either conclusion I or II follows
    4. if neither conclusion I nor II follows
    5. if both conclusion I and II follows
Correct Option: C

All goats are flowers + No flower is branch = 1 + A = E = E = No goat is branch + Some branches are roots = E + 1 = 0* = Some roots are not goats. Hence neither I nor II definitely follows However, since the two from a complementary I - E pair, either of two must follow.
