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 dolls are toys. Some toys are gems. Some gems are boxes. All boxes are sticks.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some sticks are gems.
    II. Some gems are dolls.
    III. Some sticks are dolls.
    IV. Some toys are dolls.
    1. Only I follows
    2. Only II follows
    3. Only III and IV follow
    4. Only I and IV follow
    5. None of these
Correct Option: D

Some gems are boxes + All boxes are sticks = I + A = I = Some gems are sticks → Conversion → Some sticks are gems (I) Hence I follows All dolls are toys + Some toys are gems No conclusion Hence II and consequently III do not follow. All toys are dolls (A) → conversion → Some toys are dolls (I) Hence IV follows.
