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:
Some roses are flowers. Some flowers are buds. All buds are leaves. All leaves are plants.
Conclusions:
I. Some plants are flowers.
II. Some roses are buds.
III. No leaves are roses.
IV. No roses are buds.
-
- Only I follows
- Only I & II follows
- Only I and either II or IV follows
- Only either II and IV follows
- None of these
Correct Option: C
Some flowers are buds + All buds are leaves + All leaves are plants = (I + A) + A = I = Some flowers are plants → conversion → Some plants are flowers (I). Hence I followers. Some roses are flowers + Some flowers are buds = I + I = No conclusion Hence II and IV do not follow by combination. Nor can III follow. However, II and IV form a complementary I-E pair, Hence either II or IV follows.
