      E All conclusions I, II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Some year are day (I) + At least some day are week (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some year are day (I) → Conversion → Some day are year (I) + No year is month (E) → Some day are not month (O). Hence conclusion II does not follow. At least some day are week (I) → Conversion → Some week are day (I) + Some day are not month (O) → Probable conclusion → Some month may be week (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
