    Conclusions: I. Every Tears can be Eyes.

    II. Some Smiles can be Ears. Statements:

    B Only a few Ears are Smiles. No Smile is a Tear. No Tear is an Eye. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only a few Smiles are Ears. Some Ears are Eyes. Only a few Eyes are Tears. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Some Tears are Smiles. Only a few Smiles are Eyes. No Eye is a Ear. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From Statement I. All Tears are Ears (A) + No Ear is an Eye (E) → No Tear is an Eye (E) → Probable conclusion  → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. No Ear is an Eye (E) + All Eyes are Smiles (A) → Some Smiles are not Ears (O*). Hence conclusion II does not follow. From Statement II. No Tear is an Eye (E) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Only a few Ears are Smiles → All Smiles can be Ears (A). Hence conclusion II does not follow. From Statement III. Only a few Eyes are Tears → All Tears can be Eyes (A). Hence conclusion I follows. Only a few Smiles are Ears → All Smiles can be Ears (A). Hence conclusion II does not follow. From Statement IV. Some Tears are Smiles (I) + Only a few Smiles are Eyes (I) → Probable conclusion → All Tears can be Eyes (A). Hence conclusion I follows. Only a few Smiles are Eyes(I) + No Eye is an Ear (E) → Some Smiles are not Ears (O) → Probable conclusion → Some Smiles can be Ears (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
