Statements:Some uniforms are covers. All covers are papers. All papers are bags.Conclusions:I. All covers are bags.II. Some bags are covers, papers and uniforms.III. Some uniforms are not papers.Which of the following is/are most appropriate in the above scenario?
Correct answer: C. I, II and III
- A. Only I
- B. Only I and II
- C. I, II and III
- D. Only III
Explanation
Some uniforms are covers. All covers are papers.Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some uniforms are papers'. All covers are papers. All papers are bags.Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative (A-type) and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'All covers are bags'. Thus, I follows. The converse of this conclusion i.e. 'Some bags are covers' also holds.Some uniforms are covers. All covers are bags.Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some uniforms are bags', The converse of this conclusion i.e. 'Some bags are uniforms' also holds.Further, the converse of the third premise i.e. 'Some bags are papers' holds.Now, II is the cumulative result of the conclusions 'Some bags are covers', 'Some bags are papers' and 'Some bags are uniforms'. Thus, II follows.

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.
