Two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. 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: No onion is a lemon. No lemon is a potato. Conclusions: I. No onion is a potato. II. No potato is a lemon.  Correct Answer Only conclusion II follows 

The least possible diagram is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. No onion is a potato → False (it is possible but not definite)

II. No potato is a lemon → True (as no lemon is a potato)

Hence, only conclusion II follows.
