Statements: Some Flowers are Leaves. All Flowers are Stems. No leaf is Petal. Conclusion: I. No Flower is Petal. II. Some Stems are Leaves. III. Some Stems are not Petals.
    A Only conclusion III follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusions II and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions I and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Flowers are Leaves (I) + No leaf is Petal (E) → Some Flowers are not Petals (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Flowers are Leaves (I) → Conversion → Some Leaves are Flowers (I) + All Flowers are Stems (I) → Some Leaves are Stems (I) → Conversion → Some Stems are Leaves (I). Hence conclusion II follows. Some Stems are Leaves (I) + No leaf is Petal (E) → Some Stems are not Petals (O). Hence conclusion III follows.
