    Statements :

    All Paint are Wall.

    No Wall is Decor.

    All Door are Decor.

    Conclusions:

    I. No Paint is Door.

    II. Some Paint are Decor.

    A Only conclusion I follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Both conclusion I and II follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither conclusion I nor II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Door are Decor (A) + No Decor is Wall (E) → No Door is Wall (E) → Conversion → No Wall is Door (E). All Paint are Wall (A) + No Wall is Door (E) → No Paint is Door (E). Hence conclusion I follows. All Paint are Wall (A) + No Wall is Decor (E) → No Paint is Decor (E). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
