    Question

    Three statements are followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. You have to consider these statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the given statement.
    Statements:
    I. Few mice are rats
    II. Most rats are vultures
    III. All vultures are hawks
    Conclusions:
    (I) Few mice are vultures
    (II) Some hawks are mice
    (III) Some rats are hawks ​​

    A.

    Only conclusion I follows

    B.

    Only conclusion I and III follow

    C.

    All conclusions I, II and III follow

    D.

    Only conclusion III follows

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    I. Few mice are rats.
    II. Most rats are vultures .
    III. All vultures are hawks
    Based on the given statement the Venn diagram is :
    Conclusion I: Few mice are vultures :  False ( The first statement says that few mice are rats, and the second statement says that most rats are vultures. Since we don’t have information suggesting a large overlap between mice and rats, we cannot definitively say that few mice are vultures.)
    Conclusion II: Some hawks are mice : False ( From the third statement, we know that all vultures are hawks, and from the second statement, most rats are vultures. However, there is no direct relationship provided between mice and hawks. The statements do not allow us to infer that any mice are hawks.)
    Conclusion III: Some rats are hawks : True (  From the second statement, we know that most rats are vultures, and from the third statement, we know that all vultures are hawks. Therefore, most rats must be hawks because they are vultures, and all vultures are hawks.)
    Thus, correct option is (d).
