Direction (for Q.No. 3):

Each problem consists of three statements. Based on the first two statements, the third statement may be true, false, or uncertain.

Fact 1:	Robert has four vehicles.
Fact 2:	Two of the vehicles are red.
Fact 3:	One of the vehicles is a minivan.

If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact?

I:	Robert has a red minivan.
II:	Robert has three cars.
III:	Robert's favorite color is red.

	A.	I only
	B.	II only
	C.	II and III only
	D.	None of the statements is a known fact.

Your Answer: Option

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

There is not enough information to support any of the statements. Robert is known to have a minvan, but it is not known which of his vehicles is red. Robert may have a pickup or sport utility vehicle, so the second statement cannot be supported. There is no way to know if Robert's favorite color is red (statement III).

Statements: All doors are buses. All buses are leaves. No leaf is a flower.

Conclusions:

No flower is a door.

No flower is a bus.

Some leaves are doors.

Some leaves are buses.

Your Answer: Option

Correct Answer: Option E

Explanation:

IV is the converse of the second premise and so it holds.

All doors are buses. All buses are leaves.

Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'All doors are leaves'. III is the converse of this conclusion and so it holds.

All buses are leaves. No leaf is a flower.

Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No bus is flower'. II is the converse of this conclusion and so it holds.

All doors are buses. No bus is flower.

As discussed above, it follows that 'No door is flower'. I is the converse of this conclusion and so it also holds.
