Answers:
1.2; No truck is a jeep ? conversion ? No jeep is a truck. Hence, conclusion I does not follow. Again, Some buses are trucks (I) + No truck is a jeep (E) = I + E = O = Some buses are not jeeps. Hence, conclusion II follows.
2.5; All sofas are beds (A) + Some beds are tables (I) = A + I = No conclusion. But the possibility exists. Hence, conclusion I follows. Again, Some beds are tables ? conversion ? Some tables are beds. Hence, conclusion II also follows.
3.4; Some papers are books (I) + All books are pages (A) = I + A = I = Some papers are pages. Hence, conclusion I does not follow. Again, Some papers are books ? conversion ? Some books are papers. Hence, conclusion II does not follow.
4.2; No desk is a shelf (E) + Some shelves are stools (I) = E + I = O* = Some stools are not desks. Hence, conclusion II follows but I does not follow.
5.5; Some radios are clocks (I) + No clock is a laptop (E) = I + E = O = Some radios are not laptops. Hence, conclusion I follows. Again, Some radios are clocks ? conversion ? Some clocks are radios. Hence, conclusion II follows.
6.2; T ?S = R > Q > P Thus, T > P is true. Hence, conclusion I does not hold true. But, T > Q is true. Hence, conclusion II holds true
