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:
    Some grapes are apples. Some apples are bananas . All bananas are guavas.
    No guava is pomegranates.
    Conclusions:
    I. No grapes are pomegranates.
    II. Some guavas are grapes.
    III. Some guavas are apples.
    IV. No bananas are pomegranates.
    1. None follows
    2. Only I & III follows
    3. Either II or III follows
    4. Both III & IV follow
    5. None of these
Correct Option: D

Some grapes are apples + Some apples are bananas = I + I = No conclusion So we can't move any further for ' grape' and this rules out I and II. Some apples are banana + All banana are guava = I + A = I = Some apples are guavas → conversion → Some guavas are apples (I). Hence III follows All bananas are guavas + No guava is pomegranates. Hence IV follows.
