Statements : All birds are tall. Some tall are hens.

Conclusions :
I. Some birds are hens.
II. Some hens are tall.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Since the middle term 'tall' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, II is the converse of the second premise and so it holds.
