    Statements:

    All Painting are Drawing.

    C Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Painting are Drawing (A) + No Drawing is Sketching (E) → No Painting is Sketching (E) + Some Sketching are Writing (I) → Some Writing are not Painting (O*). Hence conclusion I does not follow but conclusion III follows. No Drawing is Sketching (E) + Some Sketching are Writing (I) → Some Writing are not Drawing (O*). Hence conclusion II does not follow.
