In each of the question below are given three statements followed by three conclusions numbered I, II 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. Then decide which of the answer 1),2),3),4) and 5) is the correct answer and indicate it on the answersheet.
Statements:Some books are flowers.
Some flowers are chains.
Some chains are hammers.
Conclusions:I.Some hammers are flowers.
II.Some chains are books.
III.Some hammers are books.
We use elimination to find an exception to the generality of the conclusions. Thus we prove they are not implied. The diagram above satisfies all the statements but contradicts all the conclusions. Since we found an exception, the conclusions are not true in "every" case. Thus they are not implied.
