Hence conclusion I does not follow. All Brands are Colours (A) → Conversion → Some Colours are Brands (I) + All Brands are Flavours (A) → Some Colours are Flavours (I). Hence conclusion II follows. From Statement IV. All Ingredients are Flavours (A) + No Flavour is a Brand (E) → No Ingredients is a Brand (E) + No Brand is a Chip (E) → Probable conclusion → Some Chips may be Ingredients (I). Hence conclusion I follows. Only a few Colours are Ingredients (I) + All Ingredients are Flavours (A) → Some Colours are Flavours (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
