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:
    Some radios are telephones. All telephones are mirrors. All mirrors are desks.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some radios are desks.
    II. Some radios are mirrors.
    III. Some desks are telephones.
    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

Some radios are telephones + All telephones are mirrors = I + A = I = Some radios are mirrors Hence II follows Some radios are mirrors + All mirrors are desks = I + A = I = Some radios are desks Hence I follows. All telephones are mirrors + All mirrors are desks = A + A + = All telephones are desks → conversion → Some desks are telephones (I). Hence III follows.
