Three statements are given, followed by three conclusions I, II and III. Considering the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, decide which conclusion(s) logically follows from the statements. Statement : All schools are colleges. All colleges are houses. All houses are roads. Conclusion : I. All schools are roads. II. All schools are houses. III. All colleges are roads.
All conclusions follow.
The correct answer is All conclusions follow.
When linking 'All A are B' and 'All B are C', the middle term 'B' must be distributed in at least one premise to draw a valid about A and C (e.g., All A are C). In this problem, the middle terms (Colleges in S1 & S2, Houses in S2 & S3) are subjects of 'All' statements, so they are distributed, allowing s to be drawn across them.
