Read the given statements carefully and assume them to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Based only on the given statements, decide which of the conclusions logically follow. Statements: All images are papers. Some papers are files. Conclusions: I. Some images are files. II. Some files are papers.

1. Only I follows
2. Only II follows
3. Both follow
4. Neither follows

Correct answer: Only II follows

Solution

From “Some papers are files,” conclusion II follows directly because it is exactly the same relationship. Conclusion I does not necessarily follow, since all images are papers but the papers that are files may be different from the images.
