    Solution

    From Statement I. Only Bottles are Pickles → All Pickles are Bottles and Pickles cannot have positive relation with anyone. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Only a few Covers are Pulses (I) + Some Pulses are Bottles (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. From Statement II. All Pickles are Bottles (A) + Some Bottles are Pulses (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Bottles are Pulses (I) + All Pulses are Covers (A) → Some Bottles are Covers (I). Hence conclusion II follows. From Statement III. All Pulses are Covers (A) + All Covers are Pickles (A) → All Pulses are Pickles (A) → Conversion → Some Pickles are Pulses (I). Hence conclusion I follows. All Pulses are Covers (A) → Conversion → Some Covers are Pulses (I) + All Pulses are Bottles (A) → Some Covers are Bottles (I) → Conversion → Some Bottles are Covers (I). Hence conclusion II follows. From Statement IV. No Pickle is a Cover (E) + Few Covers are Pulses (I) → Some Pulses are not Pickles (O*). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Few Bottles are Pickles (I) + No Pickle is a Cover (E) → Some Bottles are not Covers (I) + Few Covers are Pulses (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow.
