Some cuboids are squares (I) + No square is a circle (E) → Some cuboids are not Circles (O) + All circles are triangles (A) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. No square is a circle (E) + All circles are triangles (A) → Some triangles are not squares (O*) → Probable conclusion → Some triangles may be squares (I). Hence conclusion II follows. Some cubes are cuboids (I) + Some cuboids are squares (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion III does not follow.
