Statements:

Some flowers are lamps.
Some lamps are dresses.
All dresses are shirts.
Conclusions:
(I) Some shirts are sticks.
(II) Some shirts are flowers.
(III) Some flowers are sticks.
(IV) Some dresses are sticks.

• A. Only conclusion I follows
• B. Only conclusion II follows
• C. Only conclusion III and IV follow
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D None of the above

As given :

1) Some sticks are lamps.

2) Some flowers are lamps.

3) Some lamps are dresses.

4) All dresses are shirts.

According to statement (3) and (4), we can conclude that some shirts are lamps.

But we can't relate shirts and sticks, shirts and flowers, flowers and sticks, dresses and sticks.

So, neither of the four conclusions follows.

Hence, option D is correct.
