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 statues are position. Some position are rocks. Some rocks are sand. Conclusions: I. Some position are statues. II. Some rocks are position. III. No rock is sand.

    B None of the conclusions follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions I and II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusions III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All statues are position (A) → Conversion → Some position are statues (I). Hence conclusion I follows. Some position are rocks (I) → Conversion → Some rocks are position (I). Hence conclusion II follows. Some rocks are sand → Conversion → Some sand are rocks (I). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
