Statements: All trains are buses. No room is bus. All boats are rooms. Conclusions: No boat is train. No bus is boat. No train is room.

None follows
Only I and II follow
Only II and III follow
Only I and III follow
All follow

Correct Answer: All follow

Explanation:

All trains are buses. No room is bus.

Since both the premises are universal and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be universal negative (E-type) and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'No train is room'. Thus, III follows.

All boats are rooms. No room is bus.

As discussed above, it follows that 'No boat is bus'.

II is the converse of this conclusion and so it holds. All trains are buses. No boat is bus.

Again, it follows that 'No train is boat'. I is the converse of this conclusion and so it holds.
