Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

    Statements:

    All Papers are Sticks

    Only a few Sticks are Threads

    All Threads are Wires

    Conclusion:

    I. Some Wires are Papers

    II. All Kites can be Threads

    III. Some Sticks are Wires

    A Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Papers are Sticks (A) + Only a few Sticks are Threads (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Mostly Kites are Papers (A) + All Papers are Sticks (A) → All Kites are Sticks (A) + Only a few Sticks are Threads (I) → Probable conclusion →   All Kites can be Threads (A). Hence conclusion II follows. Only a few Sticks are Threads (I) + All Threads are Wires (A) → Some Sticks are Wires (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
