All Squirrels are Herbivores. Some Herbivores are Elephants. All Elephants are Mammals. Some Mammals are Carnivores. Examine the following statements:
I. Some Mammals are Herbivores.
II. All Elephants are Squirrels.
III. Some Carnivores are Herbivores.

B
Both II & III follows
C

Explanation
Solution
I. Some Mammals are Herbivores: This follows because some Herbivores (like Elephants) are Mammals.
II. All Elephants are Squirrels: This does not follow as Elephants are not Squirrels.
III. Some Carnivores are Herbivores: This does not follow because Carnivores and Herbivores are mutually exclusive in this context.
Thus, the correct answer is Option (A).
