Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements: Some Hammer are Screw. All Bolt are Screw. No Screw are Nail. Conclusions: I. No Bolt is Nail. II. Some Screw are Bolt. III. Some Nail are Hammer.

      All Bolt are Screw (A) + No Screw are Nail (E) → No Bolt is Nail (E). Hence conclusion I follows. All Bolt are Screw (A) → Conversion → Some Screw are Bolt (I). Hence conclusion II follows. Some Hammer are Screw (I) + No Screw are Nail (E) → Some Hammer are not Nail (O). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
