Two statements are given, followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. Assuming the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: Some roads are streets Some streets are lanes Conclusions: I. No road is a lane II. All streets are lanes III. Some lanes are roads
