Question
Statements : Some books are pens. No pen is pencil.
Conclusions :
I. Some pens are books.
II. Some pencils are books.
III. Some books are not pencils.
IV. All pencils are books.
Options:
A .  Only I follows
B .  Only II and III follow
C .  Only I and III follow
D .  Only I and II follow
E .  Only I and IV follow
Answer: Option C
Since one premise is particular and the other negative, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. Thus, III follows. I is the converse of the first premise and so it also holds.
