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 trains are cars. All cars are branches. All branches are nets.
    Some nets are dresses.
    Conclusions:
    I. Some dresses are cars
    II. Some nets are trains.
    III. Some branches are trains
    IV. Some dresses are trains.
    1. Only I and III follow
    2. Only II and III follow
    3. Only I and IV follow
    4. Only II, III and IV follow
    5. None of these
Correct Option: B

All branches are nets + Some nets are dresses = A + I = No conclusion Hence I and IV does not follow. Some trains are branches → conversion → Some branches are trains (I) Hence III follows. Some trains are branches + All branches are nets = I + A = I = Some trains are nets → conversion → Some nets are trains (I) Hence II follows.
