- 1, 2, 3
- 4, 5, 6
- 3, 1, 2
- 1, 4, 6
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - 3, 1, 2
Rajasthanis are enterprising (3) and Marwaris are natives of Rajasthan (1), so Marwaris are enterprising (2): the combination 3, 1, 2. In 1, 2, 3 the conclusion reverses the inference, since the enterprise of Marwaris says nothing about all Rajasthanis, and in the other two combinations the third statement does not follow either.
