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 tables are sofas. All sofas are beds. All beds are mats.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some mats are sofas.
    II. Some beds are tables.
    III. Some mats are tables.
    1. None follows
    2. Only II follows
    3. Only I and III follows
    4. Only II and III follows
    5. All follow
Correct Option: E

All sofas are beds + All beds are mats = A + A = A = All sofas are mats → conversion → Some mats are sofas (I). Hence I follows. All tables are sofas + All sofas are beds = A + A = A = All tables are beds → conversion → Some beds are tables(I). Hence II follows. All tables are beds + All beds are mats = A + A = A = All tables are mats → conversion → Some mats are tables (I). Hence III follows.
