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.

  1. Statement:
    All flowers are trees. All trees are jungles. No jungle is hill.
    Conclusions:
    I. No flower is hill.
    II. No tree is hill
    III. Some jungles are flowers.
    1. None follows
    2. Only I and II follows
    3. Only I and III follows
    4. Only II and III follows
    5. All follow
Correct Option: D

All flowers are trees + All trees are jungles = A + A = A = All flowers are jungles → conversion → Some jungles are flowers Hence III follows. All trees are jungle + No jungle is hill = A + E = E = No tree is hill. Hence III follows. All flowers are trees + No tree is hill. Hence II follows. All flowers are trees + No tree is hill = A + E = E = No flower is hill. Hence I follows.
