Direction: In each of the question below are three statements following by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. You have to take the three given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows from the two statements disregarding commonly known fact.
-
Statement:
Some pots are buckets. All buckets are tubs. All tubs are drums.
Conclusions:
I. Some drums are pots.
II. All tubs are buckets.
II Some drums are buckets.
-
- Only I and II follows
- Only I and III follows
- Only II and III follows
- All follows
- None of these
Correct Option: B
All buckets are tubs(A) → conversion ⇒ Some tubs are buckets (I) Hence II does not follow. All buckets are tubs + All tubs are drums A + A = A = All buckets are drums → conversion → Some drums are buckets + All buckets are drums = A + A + I + = Some drums are pots(I). Hence II follows.
