Correct Answer: Only Conclusion I follows


Solution : Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Ankit is fat – According to the given statements, Ankit is a singer and all the singers are fat. Thus, Ankit is fat. Therefore, this conclusion is true.
Conclusion (II): All fat men are singers – According to the given statements, all singers are fat but all fat men are singers, which is not definite. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion (III): Fat men are not singers – According to the given statements, all singers are fat. But it is nowhere mentioned that fat men are not singers. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion (IV): Ankit is not fat – According to the given statements, Ankit is a singer and all the singers are fat. Thus, Ankit is fat. Therefore, this conclusion is false.

So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
