Statements:
1. All cars are vehicles.
2. Some vehicles are not machines.
Conclusions:
I. Some cars are not machines.
II. All vehicles are cars.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Both I and II follow
B. Only conclusion I follows
C. Only conclusion II follows
D. Neither I nor II follows
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
We know all cars are vehicles, but the vehicles that are not machines might be entirely outside the 'cars' circle. Therefore, Conclusion I is not definite. Conclusion II is a reverse of an 'All' statement, which is generally invalid. Neither follows.
