  • Only I and II follow
  • Only I, II and III follow
  • Only II,III and IV follow
  • None follows
Answer- A

some tigers are horses + all horses are goats = I + A = I = some tigers are goats à conversion àsome goats are tigers (I). Hence III follows.

All horses are goats + all goats are dogs = all horses are dogs à conversion à some dogs are horses. Hence II follows.

All horses are dogs + some dogs are cats = A + I = No conclusion = hence IV does not follow. Neither does I consequently.
