    Question

    Three statements are given followed by three conclusions

    numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All animals are forests. Some domestics are forests. Some domestics are trees. Conclusions: I. Some trees are animals. II. Some forests are animals. III. Some forests are trees.
    A Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some domestics are forests (I) + All animals are forests (A) → Conversion → Some forests are animals (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow but conclusion II follows. Some domestics are forests (I) → Conversion → Some forests are domestics (I) + Some domestics are trees (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion III does not follow.
