Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
From “All chairs are Almirahs” and “No chair is table” we only know that the subset of Almirahs that are chairs are not tables — this does not imply that some Almirahs are tables (I) nor that no table is an Almirah (III). “Some benches are tables” gives no information linking benches with chairs, so II is also not guaranteed. Therefore none of I, II or III follows definitely.
