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: All Books are Pens. All Pens are Erasers. All Erasers are Files. Conclusions: I. All Pens are Files. II. All Pens are Books. III. All Files are Books. IV. All Files are Pens. Correct Answer Only conclusion I follows

The least possible Venn diagram is,

Conclusion I: All Pens are Files → True (This is definitely true)

Conclusion II: All Pens are Books → False (It is possible but not definite true)

Conclusion III: All Files are Books → False (It is possible but not definite true)

Conclusion IV: All Files are Pens → False (It is possible but not definite true)

Hence, “only conclusion I” follows.
