In the question below are given three statements followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some C are Y. No X is a Z. Some Z are Y. Conclusions: I. Some C are Z. II. No Y is a Z. III. Some C are X.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

[ alt="d2" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/18/08/d2.PNG" style="height:62px; width:268px">

I. Some C are Z → False (Some C are Y and Some Z are Y → It can be possible but it is not definitely true)

II. No Y is a Z → False (Some Z are Y → It is definitely false)

III. Some C are X → False (Some C are Y and Some C are X → It can be possible but it is not definitely true)

Hence, none of the given conclusion follows.
