Hence, conclusion II follows. Some mugs are tubs (I) + All tubs are plastics (A) ⇒ Some mugs are plastic (I) + No plastic is a white (E) ⇒ Some mugs are not whites (O).Hence, conclusion III will follow. All tubs are plastics (A) ⇒ Conversion ⇒ Some plastics are tubes (I) ⇒ Probable conclusion ⇒ Some plastics may not be tubs (O). Hence, conclusion IV follow.
