    Solution

    Statements: Some Chapter are Topics Only a few Number are Topics No Paragraph is Heading All Number are Paragraph Conclusion: I. All Paragraph can be Topics. II. No Heading is Number. III. All Topics can be Paragraph. All Number are Paragraph (A) → Conversion → Some Paragraph are Number (I) + Only a few Number are Topics (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All Number are Paragraph (A) + No Paragraph is Heading (E) → No Number is Heading (E) → Conversion → No Heading is Number (E). Hence conclusion II follows. All Number are Paragraph (A) → Conversion → Some Paragraph are Number (I) + Only a few Number are Topics (I) → Probable conclusion → All Topics can be Paragraph (A). Hence conclusion III follows.
