Statements:
All skipper is win
Some win is player
Only a few player is hear
Conclusions:
All skipper being hear is a possibility
No win is hear
In the question above, some statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read both conclusions and decide which of them logically follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
- A.
If only conclusion I follows
- B.
If only conclusion II follows
- C.
If either conclusion I or II follows
- D.
If neither conclusion I nor II follows
- E.
If both conclusions I and II follow

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
A definite conclusion must be true in every valid diagram allowed by the statements, while a possibility conclusion only needs ONE valid diagram in which it can be drawn without contradicting any statement. The form "only a few X are Y" means some X are Y and some X are not Y.
Application
"All skipper is win" places the whole skipper set inside the win set.
"Some win is player" gives an overlap between win and player; "only a few player is hear" means some players are hear and some players are not hear.
Testing "all skipper being hear is a possibility": nothing in the statements keeps skipper out of hear, so the hear region can be expanded to cover the part of win that holds the skipper set, without disturbing "only a few player is hear". A consistent diagram exists, so this possibility is established.
Testing "no win is hear": the statements never force win and hear to be disjoint, and they also do not force any win to be hear, so this definite negative is only possibly true, not certain, and cannot be drawn.
Cross-check
"All skipper being hear is a possibility" - a single consistent diagram suffices for a possibility claim, and one exists, so it follows.
"No win is hear" - a definite negative needs the diagram to be forced into that shape, but it is not forced, so it does not follow.
Therefore the answer is "only conclusion I (all skipper being hear is a possibility) follows".
