Question:

Three statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follows from the statements.

Statements:

 * Statement I: All bats are balls.

 * Statement II: All balls are badmintons.

 * Statement III: All badmintons are wickets.

Conclusions:

 * Conclusion I: All bats are wickets.

 * Conclusion II: Some badmintons are bats.

Options:

  1. Neither conclusion I nor II follows
  2. Both conclusions I and II follow
  3. Only conclusion II follows
  4. Only conclusion I follows

Answer:

Option 2: Both conclusions I and II follow

Explanation:

Let's Analyse the statements: 

 * Conclusion I is true because all bats are inside the set of balls, which is inside the set of badmintons, which is inside the set of wickets. So, all bats are indeed wickets.

 * Conclusion II is also true because some badmintons (which are all balls) are also bats.

Therefore, both conclusions I and II logically follow from the given statements.
