Question : Directions: In each question below there are given some statements followed by some conclusions. 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/follow from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements : Some hours are minutes. All

Step-by-step solution

Analytical Method: Checking C1 and C3: ‘Some hours are clocks’ and ‘No hour is a clocks.’ In S1 and S2, we can observe that the middle term ‘clocks’ is not distributed even once, a definite conclusion can’t be derived between these two. And C1 is an I type statement and C2 is an E type statement, they both form a complementary pair (E + I combination). Therefore, either C1 or C3 follows. Checking C2: All seconds being clocks is a possibility. From S2 and S3, All clocks are
