Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.Statements:Few doctors are buildings.Most buildings are papers.All papers are frogs. Conclusions:(I) Few doctors are papers.(II) Some frogs are doctors.(III) Some buildings are frogs.

  1. A
    Only conclusion III follows
  2. B
    Either conclusion I or conclusion II follows
  3. C
    All the conclusions I, II and III follow
  4. D
    Only conclusion I follows

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the logical intersections of the statements: "Few doctors are buildings" means there is an overlap between Doctors and Buildings."Most buildings are papers" means there is an overlap between Buildings and Papers."All papers are frogs" means the entire set of Papers lies inside Frogs.Now evaluating the conclusions:Conclusion I: "Few doctors are papers." — There is no definite statement or guaranteed intersection connecting doctors and papers, so this doesn't necessarily follow.Conclusion II: "Some frogs are doctors." — Similarly, there is no direct relationship established forcing frogs to intersect with doctors, so this doesn't necessarily follow.Conclusion III: "Some buildings are frogs." — Since some buildings are papers, and all papers are inside frogs, those buildings that are papers must be frogs. Therefore, this conclusion definitely follows.
