Direction: In each of the question below are Four statements following by Four conclusions numbered I, II, II and IV. You have to take the Four 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 plastics are glasses.
    Some sponges are glasses.
    All sponges are clothes
    All clothes are liquids.
    Conclusions:
    I. All liquids are sponges.
    II. Some plastics are clothes.
    III. All glasses are plastics.
    IV. All liquids are clothes.
    1. None follows
    2. Only either II or IV follows
    3. Only IV follows
    4. Only II and IV follows
    5. None of these
Correct Option: A

All sponges are clothes + All clothes are liquids = A + A = All sponges are liquids → conversion → Some liquids are sponges (I). Hence I does not follows. All plastics are glasses + conversion of Some sponges are glasses = A + I = No conclusion Hence II does not follow. All plastics are glasses (A) → conversion → Some glasses are plastics (I) Hence III does not follow. All clothes are liquids(A) conversion Some liquids are clothes (I) Hence IV does not follow.
