IV. No pocket is a bag,
- A None follows
- B Only I and III follow
- C Only II and III follow Correct
- D Only either I or IV follows
- E All follow
Correct Answer: Option C
Since one premise is particular and the other negative, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, II follows. III is the converse of the first premise and thus it also holds.
