In this question, two statements numbered 1 and 2 are followed by two conclusions P and Q. You have to take the two statements to be true and then decide which of the two conclusion/s necessarily follow/s from the two given statements. Indicate your answer by using the appropriate alternatives. Statements : (1) All clerks are modern. (2) Some men are clerks. Conclusions : (P) : All modern persons are men. (Q) : Some men are modern Correct Answer if only conclusion Q follows
Here the logic is:
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:
(P) : All modern persons are men.→ False (It is clear from the Venn diagram some moderns are men not all moderns are men)
(Q) : Some men are modern→ True (It is definitely true)
Hence, 'if only conclusion Q follows' is the correct answer.
