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 books are trees. All tress are roads. All roads are wheels.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some wheels are books.
    II. Some roads are books.
    III. Some wheels are trees.
    1. Only I and II follow
    2. Only II & III follow
    3. Only I and III follow
    4. All follow
    5. None of these
Correct Option: D

Some books are trees + All tress are roads = I + A = I = Some books are roads (I) Hence II follows. Some books are trees + All roads are wheels = I + A = I = Some books are wheels → conversion → Some wheels are books (I) Hence I follows. All trees are roads + All roads are wheels = A + A = A = All trees are wheels → conversion → Some wheels are trees (I) Hence III follows.
