Give Answer:

    Statements: No swan is a penguin.

                               Some penguins are kingfisher. Conclusions: I. Some swan are not kingfisher.                        II. Some kingfisher are penguins.
    A If only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No swan is a penguin (E) + Some penguins are kingfisher (I) ⇒ Some kingfisher are not swan (O*) . Hence, conclusion I will not follow. Some penguins are kingfisher (I) ⇒ conversion ⇒ Some kingfisher are penguins(I). Hence, conclusion II will follow.
