Read the given statements and conclusions carefully and decide which of the conclusions logically follows(s) from the statements.

Statements:

(I) All ships are boats.

(II) All anchors are ships

Conclusions:

I. All anchors are boats.

II. Some ships are anchors.

III. No anchor is a boat.

IV. Some boats are anchors.

(I) All ships are boats.

(II) All anchors are ships

From the statements, the following Venn diagram can be -

I. All anchors are boats - True (The given conclusion is true because the circle representing anchors completely lies inside the circle representing boats. So, from this, it can be concluded that all anchors are boats.)

II. Some ships are anchors - True (The given conclusion is true because some parts of the circle representing ships lie inside the circle representing anchors while some lie outside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some ships are anchors.)​

III. No anchor is a boat - False (The given conclusion is false because the circle representing anchors completely lies inside the circle representing boats. So, from this, it can be concluded that all anchors are boats.)​

IV. Some boats are anchors - True (The given conclusion is true because some parts of the circle representing boats lie inside the circle representing anchors while some lie outside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some boats are anchors.)​

So, only conclusions I, II, and IV follow.

Thus, option (d) is the correct answer.
