    C Either I or IV and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I, II and IV follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some copies are pages (I) + No page is a letter (E) ⇒ some copies are not letters (O). Hence, conclusion II and IV will not follow but it will make a complementary pair. All books are copies (A) + Some copies are pages (I) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence, conclusion II will follow. No paper is a book (E). ⇒ All books are copies (A) ⇒ Some copies are not papers (O) ⇒ Probable conclusion ⇒ No copy may be paper (E). Hence, Conclusion III follow.
