- Only 1 follows
- Only 2 and 3 follow
- Only 1 and 4 follow
- None follow
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - None follow
Towns are inside villages; only some villages are capitals, and these need not overlap towns, so neither 1 nor 3 is definite. Capitals and states are disjoint but villages and states have no stated link (2 fails), and 'some villages are not capitals' is not certain (4 fails). None of the conclusions follows definitely.
