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: No customer is manager. All salesmen are managers. Conclusions: I. No salesman is customer. II. Some managers are salesmen. III. Some salesmen are customers. Correct Answer Only conclusion I and II follow.

Conclusions:

I. No salesman is customer → True (All salesman are Manager and No manager is a customer Therefore no salesman can be a customer)

II. Some managers are salesmen → True (All Salesman are Manager. Thus, some manager are Salesman)

III. Some salesmen are customers → False ((All salesman are Manager and No manager is a customer Therefore no salesman can be a customer)
