All parents are infants(A) + Some infants are adolescent(I) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence conclusion I and IV does not follow. All parents are infants(A) ⇒ Conversion ⇒ Some infants are parents(I) ⇒ Probable conclusion ⇒ All infants being parents is a possibility(A). Hence conclusion II follow. Some children are parents(I) + All parents are infants(A) ⇒ Some children are infants (I) ⇒ Conversion ⇒ Some infant are children(I). Hence conclusion III follows.
