Syllogism Analysis
CMAT 2026 · Logical Reasoning · Easy · Syllogism
The following question consists of a statement followed by conclusions I, II and III.
Statement: Some hills are rivers. Some rivers are deserts. All deserts are roads.
Conclusions: I. Some roads are rivers. II. Some roads are hills. III. Some deserts are hills.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A.
Only I follows
- B.
Only I and II follow
- C.
Only II and III follow
- D.
Only III follows
A
Explanation
Since 'Some rivers are deserts' and 'All deserts are roads', the portion of rivers that are deserts is necessarily contained within roads. Thus, 'Some roads are rivers' (Conclusion I) definitely follows. There is no definite relation established between hills and roads or hills and deserts, so Conclusions II and III do not necessarily follow.
