Question

Three statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements :
1. All pinks are scarlets.
2. Some scarlets are blues.
3. No blue is brown.
Conclusions:
I. Some browns are blues.
II. No pink is brown.
III. Some scarlets are pinks.

A.

Only conclusion I follows.

B.

Only conclusions II and III follow.

C.

Only conclusion III follows.

D.

Only conclusions I and II follow.

Correct option is C

Given:
Statements :
1. All pinks are scarlets.
2. Some scarlets are blues.
3. No blue is brown.
From the given statement following Venn diagram will be - 
From the abvoe Venn diagrame - 
Conclusion I: Some browns are blues.

False, because statement (3) clearly says no blue is brown.

Conclusion II: No pink is brown.
Not definite. There is no direct relation given between pinks and browns. It is possible that some pinks are brown or not—we can’t be sure.

Conclusion III: Some scarlets are pinks.
True, because if all pinks are scarlets, then logically some scarlets (those pinks) are pinks.

Hence, the correct answer is: Only conclusion III follows.
