Conclusion II: Some textbook written by X are published by publishers other than ABC Publishing Company. Conclusion III: ABC Publishing Company publishes some critical theories written by X. Correct Answer Only conclusion II follows
Conclusions:
I: ABC Publishing Company publishes textbooks only → Not definite (Surely, ABC Company publishes textbooks but the company publishes only textbooks and no other books. This can not be decided on the basis of the given statements.)
II: Some textbooks written by X are published by publishers other than ABC Publishing Company. → True (As some textbooks written by X are published by ABC Publishing Company. So, some other books would definitely be published by publishers other than ABC Publishing Company.)
III: ABC Publishing Company publishes some critical theories written by X. → False (There is nothing mentioned about critical theories in the given statements.)
Hence, only conclusion II follows.

- Read the statement carefully and look for keywords that are common between the statement and the conclusions
- If there is more than one conclusion that is applicable to the statement, students must ensure that the conclusions they opt for have some relation with each other.
