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.
-
Statement:
All sands are beaches. All shores are beaches. Some beaches are trees. All trees are hotels.
Conclusions:
I. Some shores are hotels.
II. All beaches are shores
III. Some beaches are hotels.
IV. Some sands are trees.
-
- None follows
- Only II follows
- Only either I or III follows
- Only IV follows
- None of these
Correct Option: E
Some beaches are tree + All trees are hotels = I + A = I = Some beaches are hotels Hence III follows. Now, All shores are beaches + Some beaches are hotels = A + I = No conclusion Hence I does not follow. All shores are beaches (A) → conversion → Some beaches are shores (I). Hence II does not follow. All sands are beaches + Some beaches are trees = A + I = No conclusion Hence IV does not follow.
