  • Options
  • A. None follows
  • B. Only I and II follow
  • C. Only II and III follow
  • D. Only III and IV follow

  • Correct Answer
  • Only III and IV follow 

    Explanation
    Since the middle term 'trains' is not distributed even once in the/premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, III is the converse of the second premise while IV is the converse of the first premise. So, both of them hold.
