    Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some Solid are Liquid All Liquid are Gas All Gas are Matter Conclusion: I. Some Solid are Gas II. All Liquid are Matter III. Some Gas are Liquid

    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C All of the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Solid are Liquid (I) + All Liquid are Gas (A) → Some Solid are Gas (I). Hence conclusion I follows. All Liquid are Gas (A) + All Gas are Matter (A) → All Liquid are Matter (I). Hence conclusion II follows. All Liquid are Gas (A) → Conversion → Some Gas are Liquid (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
