Question and options

Direction: Following consists a statement followed by some conclusions. Consider the statement and decide which of these conclusions is implicit to the statement.
Statement: Some keys are staplers.
Some staplers are stickers.
All the stickers are pens
Conclusions: I. Some pens are staplers.

III. No stickers are keys.
IV. Some staplers are keys
  1. Only I and II
  2. Only II and IV
  3. Only II and III
  4. Only I and IV

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - Only I and IV
I follows: the staplers that are stickers are pens, so some pens are staplers. IV follows by converting 'some keys are staplers'. II and III are not definite on their own (they form an either-or pair), so only I and IV follow definitely.
