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 windows are doors. All buildings are doors. All doors are boats.
    Conclusions:
    I. All windows are boats.
    II. All buildings are boats.
    III. Some boats are doors.
    1. Only I and II follow
    2. Only I and III follow
    3. Only II and III follow
    4. All follow
    5. None of these
Correct Option: D

All windows are doors + All doors are boats = A + A = A = All windows are boats. Hence I follows. All buildings are doors + All doors are boats = A + A = A = All buildings are boats. Hence II follows. All doors are boats (A) → conversion → Some boats are doors(I). Hence III follows.
