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 doors are handles. All handles are pins. Some pins are threats. All threats are clothes.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some cloths are pins.
    II. Some pins are doors.
    III. Some clothes are handles.
    IV. Some clothes are doors.
    1. Only II and III follow
    2. Only I, II and IV follow
    3. Only II, III and IV follow
    4. All follow
    5. None of these
Correct Option: E

Some pins are threats + All threats are clothes = I + A = I = Some pins are clothes → conversion → Some clothes are pins (I) Hence I follows. Some doors are handles + All handles are pins = I + A = I = Some doors are pins → conversion → Some pins are doors (I) Hence II follows. All handles are pins + Some pins are clothes = I + A = No conclusion Hence III does not follow. Nor does IV follow consequently.
