    B) Only II and III follows
    C) Only I follows
    D) None follows.
    D) None follows.
    Explanation:

    B) Only I and II follow
    C) Only II follow.
    D) All follow.
    C) Only II follow.

    I – if all squares are cones, then some circles will be triangles which is not possible.
    II – is true because if any cone is rectangle, then some circles will be triangles which is not possible.
    III – is false, because, some triangles are definitely squares.

  3. Statements: Some lions are tigers. All tigers are dogs. Some dogs are cats. All cats are rats.
