No Nike is a Reebok (E) → Conversion → No Reebok is a Nike (E) + All Nike are Puma (A) → Some Puma are not Reebok (O*) → Probable conclusion → All Reebok may be Puma (A). Hence conclusion II follows. Some Adidas are Nike (I) + No Nike is a Reebok (E) → Some Adidas are not Reebok (O). Hence conclusion III does not follow
