Conclusion and statement are not equal. If both are same. There is no concept of conclusion. Remember one think conclusion means we get some thing from statement. So conclusion is becomes statement. What you learn from conclusion. That's why option 1 is wrong.

Excellent explanation @Prachi, you are right. Its very simple as if A=B, B=C.
Then C should always be equal to A, and applying same concept here there are flutes which are not harmoniums but all harmoniums are flutes for true.

It's simple.
It says all the instruments (A) are flutes (B). But all the flutes (B) may not be instruments (A).
Basically flutes (B) includes all instruments (A) but instruments (A) does not includes all flutes (B).

@Prachi your second part is wrong I guess. As you have taken harmonium as z n flutes as x. Therefore z=x. Not all y= all z.
As per the second part. If my concept is wrong then please explain it to me.

Answer should be d.
All the harmonium= all the instrument.
All the instrument = all the flute.
So both the statement is true.
All the flutes are instruments.

All the harmonium= all the instrument.
All the instrument = all the flute.
So both the statement is true.
All the flutes are instruments.
All the harmoniums are flutes.

I think answer would be E, because .All the instruments are flutes-> Right. But, Why not this sentence All the flutes are instruments is right?
