Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some heavy things are grey in colour'. I is a cumulative result of this conclusion and the first premise. Thus, only I holds.Related Questions on Logical Deduction
