Given below are two statements and two conclusions. Take the statements to be true even if they are at variance with commonly known facts, and decide whether the conclusion(s) follow(s) the given statements.
Statements:
All eyes are noses.
Some noses are lips.
Conclusions:
I. Some noses are eyes.
II. All lips are noses.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation

The least possible Venn Diagram for the given statements is drawn below:
Conclusions:
I. Some noses are eyes → True (As all eyes are noses, so, some noses are eyes.)
II. All lips are noses → False (It is possible, but no definite conclusion can be drawn.)
Hence, Only conclusion I follows.
