III. All beds are chairs
Statements: Some tables are chairs.
Some chairs are beds.

III. All beds are chairs
- Only conclusion I follows the statements
- Only conclusion III follows the statements
- Only conclusion II follows the statements
- None of the conclusions follows the statements
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - None of the conclusions follows the statements
From 'Some tables are chairs' and 'Some chairs are beds' nothing definite follows about tables and beds, so I does not follow. II contradicts 'Some chairs are beds', and III ('All beds are chairs') cannot be concluded from 'some'. So none follows.
