Assuming the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement. Statements: No crows is a bird. All birds are animals. Conclusion: I. Some animals are crows. II. Some animals are birds. III. No animal is a crow.

Conclusion:

Some animals are crows → False (Possibility but not definitely true).

Some animals are birds → True.

No animal is a crow → False (Possibility but not definitely true).

Thus, I and III forms a complimentary pair.

Hence, Conclusion II and either conclusion I or III follows.
