In each of the question below are given four statements followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from three given statements disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements:Some beads are chairs.
All chairs are trucks.
Some trucks are bricks.
All bricks are cars.
Conclusions:I.Some cars are chairs.
II.Some cars are trucks.
III.Some trucks are beads.
The Venn Diagram for the given syllogism is as shown below:
Based on the diagram, atleast some cars are trucks and atleast some trucks are beads. Hence conclusions II and III follow. However, from the diagram, we can clearly see that none of the cars are chairs. So, conclusion I is not implied in every case.
