Consider the given statement(s) to be true and decide which of the given conclusions/assumptions can definitely be drawn from the given statement.
Statement 1: All elephants are men.
Statement 2: All men are socks.
Conclusion I: Some socks are elephants.
Conclusion II: All elephants are socks.
Both Conclusions I and II follows
This question tests your understanding of syllogisms and deductive reasoning. Let's analyze the statements and conclusions:
Statement 1: All elephants are men.
Statement 2: All men are socks.
We can represent these statements using a Venn diagram. Imagine three overlapping circles: one for elephants, one for men, and one for socks. Statement 1 tells us that the entire circle representing elephants is completely contained within the circle representing men. Statement 2 tells us that the entire circle representing men is completely contained within the circle representing socks.
Conclusion I: Some socks are elephants.
This conclusion is true. Since all elephants are men, and all men are socks, it logically follows that some socks (at least those that are men, which include all elephants) are elephants.
Conclusion II: All elephants are socks.
This conclusion is also true. Because all elephants are men (Statement 1), and all men are socks (Statement 2), it follows that all elephants are socks. This is a transitive property of inclusion.
Therefore, both Conclusion I and Conclusion II follow logically from the given statements.
Correct Answer: Both Conclusions I and II follow

In the question, a word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the question are represented by two classes of alphabets in two matrices given below. The columns and rows of Matrix 1 are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g., 'A' can be represented by 04, 12, etc., and 'U' can be represented by 59, 66, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word 'ROOT'.
