Question and options
Some statements are given followed by four conclusions. Find out which of the conclusions logically follow from the given statements.
Statements: All shoes are bags. All bags are boxes.
Conclusions:
I. Some bags are shoes
II. No bag is shoes
III. Some boxes are shoes
IV. All boxes are shoes
Conclusions:
I. Some bags are shoes
II. No bag is shoes
III. Some boxes are shoes
IV. All boxes are shoes
- Only I follows
- Only either I or II follows
- Only I and III follow
- None follows
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Only I and III follow
All shoes are bags, so some bags are shoes (I). All shoes are bags and all bags are boxes, so all shoes are boxes and some boxes are shoes (III). II and IV fail. Only I and III follow. "Only either I or II follows" fails because III also follows, so the answer cannot be limited to the pair I and II.
