Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: No soap is a lotion. No lotion is a conditioner. Conclusions: (I) No soap is a conditioner. (II) Some conditioners are lotions.

  1. A.Both conclusion I and II follow
  2. B.Only conclusion I follows
  3. C.Neither conclusion I nor II follows✓ Correct
  4. D.Only conclusion II follows

Explanation

From 'No soap is a lotion' and 'No lotion is a conditioner', we cannot directly conclude that no soap is a conditioner (there could be a different link). Conclusion II is also invalid since 'No lotion is a conditioner' means no conditioner is a lotion. Hence neither conclusion follows.
