1
General Intelligence & Reasoning

Three statements are given followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All stems are leaves. All fruits are leaves. All leaves are trunks. Conclusions: I. All fruits are trunks. II. All trunks are stems. III. Some trunks are fruits.

  1. A.Only conclusions II and III follow.
  2. B.Only conclusions I and II follow.
  3. C.Only conclusions I and III follow.
  4. D.All conclusions follow.

Explanation

All fruits ⊂ leaves ⊂ trunks → all fruits are trunks (I ✓). Therefore some trunks are fruits (III ✓). 'All trunks are stems' is overgeneralisation (II ✗). So I and III follow.
