II.Some inexperienced are students.
                        
A. Only conclusion I follows B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Either I or II follows D. Neither I nor II follows

Answer: Option E
Explaination:

 


Every' is equivalent to 'All'. Thus, since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. II is the converse of the second premise and thus it also holds.
