Statements: All Hills are Mountains. Some Road are Rivers. No Hill is River. Conclusion: I. No Mountain is River. II. No Hill is Road. III. Some Mountains are Hills.
    A Only conclusion III follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions I and II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions II and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Hills are Mountains (A) → Conversion → Some Mountains are Hills (I) + No Hill is River (E) → Some Mountains are not Rivers (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. No Hill is River (E) + Some Rivers are Road (I) → Some Road are not Hills (O*). Hence conclusion II does not follow. All Hills are Mountains (A) → Conversion → Some Mountains are Hills (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
