Question:

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.

Statements:
I. No X is C.
II. Some A are C.

Conclusions:
I. Some C are not X.
II. Some A are X is a possibility.
III. All C are A.

Options:

Only conclusions I and II follow

All the conclusions follow

Only conclusions II and III follow

Only conclusion III follows

Correct Answer:

Only conclusions I and II follow

Explanation:

Conclusions;

I. Some C are not X. This conclusion follows from the given statements because statement I tells us that no X is C, which means there are C that are not X.

II. Some A are X is a possibility. This conclusion follows from the given statements. Since some A are C, and no X is C, it is possible that some A are X. It's not guaranteed, but it's a possibility.

III. All C are A. This conclusion does not follow from the given statements. The statements only tell us that some A are C and no X is C. They do not provide any information about the relationship between C and A.

So, the correct answer is;

Only conclusions I and II follow
