    All sparrows are parrots.

    No parrot is bird.

    All birds are peacocks.

    Conclusions:

    I. Some birds are not parrots.

    II. Some peacocks are not parrots.

    A If only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If either conclusions I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

      No parrot is bird (E) ⇒ Conversion ⇒ No bird is a parrot (E). ⇒ I.I. ⇒ Some birds are not parrots (O). Hence, conclusion I will follow. No parrot is a bird (E) + All birds are peacocks (A) = Some peacocks are not parrots (O*). Hence, conclusion II will also follow.
