Statements:Some hills are rivers. Some rivers are deserts. All deserts are roads.Conclusions:I. Some roads are rivers.II. Some roads are hills.III. Some deserts are hills.Which of the following is/are most appropriate in the above scenario?

Correct answer: B. Only I

  • A. Only I and II
  • B. Only I
  • C. Only II and III
  • D. None of the conclusions are appropriate

Explanation

The correct answer is Only I. Here's why:I. Some roads are rivers. This conclusion follows logically because the given statements confirm that some rivers are deserts and all deserts are roads. Therefore, some roads are rivers.II. Some roads are hills. This conclusion does not follow because the connection between hills and roads is indirect. Hills are related to rivers, and rivers to deserts/roads, but that doesn't establish a direct hill-road relationship.III. Some deserts are hills. This conclusion does not follow as there is no direct mention or logical implication in the statements that some deserts are hills.

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.
