Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
1. Analyze Statements: "Some land are hard" (Overlap between land and hard); "No stone is land" (Stone and land are separate).
2. Evaluate Conclusion I ("Some hard are land"): Since "Some land are hard" is given, the reverse "Some hard are land" is logically valid via simple conversion. Therefore, this is True.
3. Evaluate Conclusion II ("Some stone are hard"): No direct connection is stated or implied between 'stone' and 'hard'. Thus, this is False.
Final Answer: Option A
