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:
Some pictures are prizes.
Some prizes are erasers.
Some erasers are helmets.
Conclusions:
I. Some helmets are Prizes.
II. Some erasers are pictures.
III. No helmet is a Prize.
Either conclusion II or III follows
Either conclusion I or II follow
Only conclusion II follow
Either conclusion I or III follows
Correct answer
Either conclusion I or III follows
Why this answer is correct
The least possible Venn diagram as per the given statement is as follow:
Conclusions:
I. Some Helmets are Prizes → False (There is no direct relation given between prizes and helmets so it can be possible but not definite, hence, false)
II. Some erasers are pictures → False (There is no direct relation given between erasers and pictures so it can be possible but not definite, hence, false)
III. No helmet is a Prize → False (There is no direct relation given between prizes and helmets so it can be possible but not definite, hence, false)
Thus, Conclusion 1 and 3 will form the complementary pairs for the either-or case.
Hence, the correct answer is "Either conclusion I or III follows".
Additional Information
In this section two of the given conclusion forms a complementary pair for the either-or case.
Complementary pairs for Either or case are:
1) Some + No
2) All + Some not
Rules for Either or Case:-
Rule:

Kripal starts driving from his home and drives 37 km towards south. From there he turns left and drives 31 km. Then he turns right and drives 27 km. Then he turns left and drives a certain distance of Y km. After than, he turns left and drives 57 km. Now he finally turn left and drives 58 km to reach a bank, which is exactly 7 km south of his home. Find the value of Y in Km.
22
27
55
36
Correct answer
27
Why this answer is correct
Drawing the figure as per the information given in the question:-
From figure,
EC = AB = 58 Km
But EC = ED + CD
58 = 31 + CD
CD = 58 - 31 = 27 Km
Here, FG = CD
Y = 27 Km
Hence, the correct answer is "27 Km".
Vinita and Sunita are standing in a park facing each other at the time of sunrise. If the shadow of Vinita falls to the left of Sunita, which direction is Vinita facing?
West
North
South
East
Correct answer
South
Why this answer is correct
According to the given information:
Sun's direction in the morning is East.
The shadow falls in the West in the morning.
Shadow is on the left of Sunita means Sunita's left is West.
And Shadow is on the right of Vinita means Vinita's left is East.
Thus, Vinita is facing to the South.
Hence, the correct answer is "South".
Four letter - clusters have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the odd letter - cluster.
JMQVB
LOSXD
DGKPV
TWAFK
Correct answer
TWAFK
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here is:
Each letter is increasing by 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Option 1 →
Option 2 →
Option 3 →
Option 4 →
Thus we can see 'TWAFK' doesn't follow the pattern of the same.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)".
Paresh is 14th from the left and Dileep is 16th from the right in a line of students. When both Paresh and Dileep interchange their positions, the position of Dileep becomes 21st from the right. How many students are there in the line?
33
35
36
34
Correct answer
34
Why this answer is correct
According to the given information :
After interchanging their positions,
Total number of students = Position from the left + Position from the right - 1
Total number of students = 14 + 21 - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34
Hence, the correct answer is "34".
Which Venn diagram best represents the given set of classes?
Animals, Mammals, Goat
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
Goat is a mammal and all mammals are animals. So, the small circle represented as goat which is enclosed by bigger circle which represents Mammal. These two circles are enclosed by another bigger circle which represents Animal.
Hence, option 4 best represents the given set of classes.

0, 2, 3, 5, 10, 18, 33, 61, 112, _________
178
198
186
206
Correct answer
206
Why this answer is correct
Here the logic is,
0 + 2 + 3 = 5,
2 + 3 + 5 = 10,
3 + 5 + 10 = 18,
5 + 10 + 18 = 33,
10 + 18 + 33 = 61,
18 + 33 + 61 = 112,
33 + 61 + 112 = 206
Hence, 206 is the correct answer.

Four pairs of words have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner, while one is different. Choose out the odd one.
Photo : Frame
House : Compound wall
Garden : Fence
Room : Door

Room : Door
Why this answer is correct
Here the logic is,
Frame acts as a boundary for Photo.
Compound wall acts as a boundary for the House.
Fence acts as a boundary for the Garden.
Door is placed inside one of the walls of the room which doesn’t act as a boundary of the room.
Hence, Room : Door is the odd one.
