    Solution

    Some words are letters (I) + All letters are digits (A) ⇒ Some words are digits (I) + No number is a digits (E) ⇒ conversion ⇒ No digits is a number (E) ⇒ Some words are not numbers(O*). Hence conclusion I follows.  All letters are digits (A) + [No number is a digits (E)] ⇒ conversion ⇒No digits is a number (E) ⇒ No letter is a number(E). Hence conclusion II does not follow.  All letters are digits(A) ⇒ Probable conclusion ⇒ All digits may be words(A). Hence, conclusion III follows.
