Correct answer: D. None of these
- A. Only III
- B. Only II
- C. Only II and III
- D. None of these
Explanation
The statements provide specific information about the relationships between rabbits, lions, horses, and tables. To evaluate the conclusions, consider each one individually:Conclusion I: 'Some tables are lions' cannot be drawn because the statements do not directly or indirectly connect tables, which are all rabbits, to lions.Conclusion II: 'Some horses are rabbits' cannot be concluded as there is no information linking horses to rabbits directly or indirectly.Conclusion III: 'No lion is a table' is not guaranteed by the statements because there is no direct prohibition between lions and tables in the given information.Thus, none of the conclusions can be accurately drawn from the provided statements, making 'None of these' the correct answer.

About Syllogisms
Syllogisms use categorical statements such as all, some and no to establish relationships between groups. Questions require checking whether conclusions necessarily follow from the premises, often by mental set relationships or Venn diagrams, and distinguishing valid deductions from conclusions that are merely possible.
