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. All handles are locks.
II. No lock is a shelf.
III. No lock is a cupboard.
Conclusions:
(1) No handle is a shelf.
(II) Some cupboards are shelves.

A.

Both conclusions (1) and (II) follow

B.

Neither conclusion (1) nor (II) follows

C.

Only conclusion (II) follows

D.

Only conclusion (I) follows

Correct option is D

Given: 
Statements:
I. All handles are locks.
II. No lock is a shelf.
III. No lock is a cupboard.
From the given information Venn diagram will be: 
Conclusions:
(1) No handle is a shelf.
Since all handles are locks and no lock is a shelf, it follows that no handle can be a shelf. Therefore, conclusion (I) is correct.
(II) Some cupboards are shelves.
There is no information that explicitly connects cupboards and shelves. Since we are not given any direct relationship between "cupboards" and "shelves," this conclusion cannot be definitively drawn from the given statements.
Therefore, conclusion (II) is incorrect.
Thus, the correct option is (d) Only conclusion (I) follows.
