In each of the questions below are given three statements followed by four conclusions numbered I, II, III and IV. 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 the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements:
All doors are windows. All houses are windows. Some windows are tablets.
Conclusions:
I. Some doors are houses
II. Some houses are tablets.
III. Some tables are doors
IV. All tablets are windows.
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.
