Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which conclusions logically follow/s from the given statements.

Statements: All routers are dongles. All routers are phones.

Conclusion (I) : Some dongles are phones

Conclusion (II) : All phones are routers

  1. AOption (a)

    Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Only conclusion (I) follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:

 

Conclusion 

(I) Some dongles are phones - Follow (All phone are dongles. Some dongles are phones, and some phone are dongles. Hence, it is true)

(II) All phones are routers - Does not Follow (All routers are phone but all phone are routers is may be possible but not definite. Hence, it is false)

Only conclusion (I) follows. 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3"
