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. Some trees are houses All houses are wheels.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some wheels are trees.
    II. Some trees are flowers.
    III.Some wheels are flowers.
    1. Only I and II follow
    2. Only I and III follow
    3. Only II and III follow
    4. All I, II and III follow
    5. None of these
Correct Option: A

Some trees are houses + All houses are wheels = I + A = I = Some trees are wheels → (I) conversion → Some wheels are trees (I). Hence I follows. All flowers are tree → (A) conversion → Some trees are flowers (I). Hence II follows. But II and III can't, be combined as they are I -type statements Hence III does not follow.
