    Solution

    Some colours are painters (I) + All painters are traders (A) → Some colours are traders (I) + Some traders are fighters (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow.
    All painters are traders (A) + Some traders are fighters (I) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion II nor III follow.
    Some colours are painters (I) + All painters are traders (A) → Some colours are traders (I) → Conversion → Some traders are colours (I). Hence conclusion IV follows.
