Statements:Some pens are books. All schools are books. Some colleges are schools.Conclusions:I. Some colleges are pens.II. Some pens are schools.III. Some colleges are books.Which of the following is/are most appropriate in the above scenario?
Correct answer: B. Only III follows
- A. Only I and II follow
- B. Only III follows
- C. Only II and III follow
- D. None follow
Explanation
To determine which conclusions follow, evaluate the logical connections established by the statements:I. Some colleges are pens: This does not follow because there is no direct connection between colleges and pens in the given statements.II. Some pens are schools: This conclusion does not follow. Although some pens are books and all schools are books, there is no direct connection between pens and schools.III. Some colleges are books: This follows. Since some colleges are schools and all schools are books, we can logically deduce that some colleges are books.Therefore, the only conclusion that logically follows is Conclusion III.

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.
