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 chairs are tables. All tables are cushions. Some cushions are trolleys. All trolleys are lamps.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some lamps are tables.
    II. Some trolleys are chairs.
    III. Some cushions are lamps.
    IV. All chairs are cushions.
    1. Only I follows
    2. Only III and IV follow
    3. Only either II or II follows
    4. All follows
    5. None of these
Correct Option: B

Some cushions are trolleys + All trolleys are lamps = I + A = I = Some cushions are lamps Hence III follows. All chairs are tables + All tables are cushions = A + A = A = All chairs are cushions Hence IV follows All tables are cushions + Some cushions are trolleys = A + I = No conclusion Hence I does not follow. All chairs are cushions + Some cushions are trolleys = A + I = No conclusion Hence II does not follow.
