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 stones are rivers. All rivers are cars. Some cars are trains.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some trains are stones.
    II. Some cars are stones.
    III. Some trains are rivers.
    1. None follows
    2. Only I follows
    3. Only II follows
    4. Only III follows
    5. Only II and III follows
Correct Option: C

All stones are rivers + All rivers are cars = A + A = A = All stones are cars → conversion → Some cars are stones (I) Hence II follows. All rivers are cars + Some cars are trains = I + A = No conclusion Hence II and consequently I do not follow.
