There should be common term present between two conclusions in case if conclusion contains NO.
Then the only answer will be either or option.
Eg- all men's are a duck.
NO men are duck.
If I'm wrong correct me.

You have study logic first. Can you solve mathematical problems without knowing formulas. There's no short cut.

@Rajani, "All actors are dancers' can be converted into 'some actors are dancers' but not vice versa.

For question 2 in examples, I feel option (1) follows.
Some asses are not dogs is true right? since some asses are bulls (which implies they're not dogs). Please reply why not?
