  1. Statement:
    Some doors are walls. All walls are floors. All floors are rooms. Some rooms are windows.
    Conclusions:
    I. All walls are rooms.
    II. Some rooms are doors.
    III. Some rooms are doors.
    IV. Some floors are doors.
    1. None follows
    2. Only I & II follows
    3. Only II & III follows
    4. Only I, III & IV follows
    5. All follow
Correct Option: D

All walls are floors + All floors are rooms = A + A = A = All walls are rooms Hence I follows. Some doors are walls + All walls are floors = I + A = I = Some doors are rooms → conversion → Some rooms are doors (I). Hence II follows. Conversion of gives us III. Some doors are walls + All walls are floors = I + A = I = Some doors (I) Hence IV follows.
