Question 3

Two 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:
All ice creams are juices.
No juice is chocolate.
Conclusions:

From the basic diagram, Some juices are ice-creams. Hence Conclusion II follows.

III. No ice-cream is chocolate

From the basic diagram, No ice-cream is chocolate. Hence Conclusion III follows.

$$\therefore\ $$Only Conclusion II and III follows the given statements

Hence, the correct answer is Option B
