    Solution

    From Statement I. Some Rings are Ornaments (I) + No Ornament is an Anklet (E) → Some Rings are not Anklets (O) + All Ornaments are Bangles (A) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follow. All Necklaces are Bangles (A) + Some Rings are Ornaments (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. From Statement II. Some Anklets are Necklaces (I) → Conversion → Some Necklaces are Anklets (I) + All Anklets are Ornaments (A) → Some Necklaces are Ornaments (I) + Some Ornaments are Rings (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor II follow. All Anklets are Ornaments (A) + Some Ornaments are Rings (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. From Statement III. Some Bangles are Necklaces (I) + All Necklaces are Rings (A) → Some Bangles are Rings (I) → Conversion → Some Rings are Bangles (I). Hence conclusion I follows. Only Anklet are Ornaments → All Ornaments are Anklets and Ornaments can have negative relation with anyone. Hence conclusion II follows. Few Necklaces are Anklets (I) → Conversion → Some Anklets are Necklaces (I) + All Necklaces are Rings (A) → Some Anklets are Rings (I). Hence conclusion III follows.   From Statement IV. All Rings are Bangles (A) → I.I. → Some Rings are Bangles (I). Hence conclusion I follows. Alignment is not possible to draw the conclusion . Hence conclusion II does not follow. Some Rings are Anklets (I) → Conversion → Some Anklets are Rings (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
