    A All follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only III and IV follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I, II and IV follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only wires are switches can be written in two ways = Some wires are switches (I) and All switches are wires (A). Hence, conclusion I will follows. Only nuts are boards ⇒ All boards are nuts. Hence, conclusion II will follows. Only nuts are boards = Some nuts are boards (I) and All boards are nuts (A). Hence, conclusion II will follow but conclusion III will not follow. All switches are wires (A) + No wire is a board (E) ⇒ No switch is a board(O). Hence, conclusion IV will follow.
