1.Answer: d

2. Answer: b

3.Answer: c

4. Answer: b

5. Answer: a

Directions (Q. 6-10):

6. Answer: c; All stones are poles + All poles are desks = A + A = A = All stones are desks → conversion → Some desks are stones (I). Hence II follows. All stones are desks + Some desks are nets = A + I = No conclusion. Hence I does not follow. Some desks are nets + All nets are days = I + A = I = Some desks are days → conversion → Some days are desks (I). Hence III follows.

7. Answer: a; Some weeks are years + All years are buses = I + A = I = Some weeks are buses → conversion → Some buses are weeks (I). Hence II follows. Some weeks are buses + All buses are trains = I + A = I = Some weeks are trains → conversion → Some trains are weeks (I). Hence I follows. Some months are weeks + Some weeks are trains = I + I = No conclusion. Hence III does not follow.

8. Answer: c; Some stations are rails + All rails are rivers = I + A = I = Some stations are rivers → conversion → Some rivers are stations (I). Hence II follows. All rivers are papers + Some papers are cards = A + I = No conclusion. Hence III does not follow. Neither does I.

9. Answer: c; All windows are roofs + All roofs are glasses = A + A = A = All windows are glasses → conversion → Some glasses are windows (I). Hence II follows. All windows are glasses + Some glasses are plates = A + I = No conclusion. Hence I does not follow. III also does not follow, as I + I = No conclusion.

10. Answer: d; All houses are buildings + All buildings are villages = A + A = A = All houses are villages → conversion → Some villages are houses (I). Hence I follows. All jungles are houses + All houses are buildings = A + A = A = All jungles are buildings → conversion → Some buildings are jungles (I). Hence II follows. All trees are jungles + All jungles are houses = A + A = A = All trees are houses → conversion → Some houses are trees (I). Hence III follows.
