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 papers are bottles. All bottles are cups. Some cups are jugs.
    Some jugs are plates.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some plates are cups.
    II. Some plats are bottle.
    III. Some cups are papers.
    IV. Some bottles are papers.
    1. Only III and IV follow
    2. Only I and II follow
    3. Only I and III follow
    4. Only II and IV follow
    5. None of these
Correct Option: A

Some cups are jugs + Some jugs are plates. = I + I = No conclusion Hence I does not follow. Nor does II follow All papers are bottles + All bottles are cups = A + A = A = All papers are cups → conversion → Some cups are papers(I) Hence III follows. All papers are bottles (A) → conversion → Some bottle are papers (I) Hence IV follows.
