Statements:Some bricks are trees. All trees are pens. All pens are boats.Conclusions:I. Some boats are bricks.II. Some pens are bricks.III. Some trees are bricks.IV. Some bricks are boats.Which of the following is/are most appropriate in the above scenario?
Correct answer: D. All Conclusions I, II, III, and IV follow
- A. Only I and II follow
- B. Only I, II, and III follow
- C. Only I and IV follow
- D. All Conclusions I, II, III, and IV follow
Explanation
Each conclusion can be derived from the given statements:I. Some boats are bricks. This follows as the bricks, through trees and pens, are linked to boats.II. Some pens are bricks. Since some bricks are trees and all trees are pens, this conclusion follows.III. Some trees are bricks. This is directly given in the statements.IV. Some bricks are boats. As some bricks are trees, which are pens, which are boats, this conclusion is valid.Thus, the correct answer is that all conclusions follow. Other options fail because they ignore some conclusions that logically follow the given statements.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
