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

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.
Then the only answer will be either or option.

@Deepthi.
Your concept is wrong. No need to find out conclusion, they already given in the question. In this chapter, the statement is given and the conclusion is also given we prove that conclusion is wrong or not. If the conclusion is wrong then you are right, or conclusion is right then you are wrong.
Notes: [ (All=some not, not) (some=no) (no=all, some) ]. Always remember this, it used in conclusion to proving right ya wrong. This is your opposite words.
For example statement 1: All hands are arms, some hands are skins.
Conclusion 1: some skins are arms.
2: All skins are arms.
Answer: draw a diagram for the help of statement. And prove the statement for the help of conclusion.
1: Some skins are arms (some change into no).
2: all skins are arms (all change into not / some not).
So, conclusion 1st is the correct answer.
Thank you, everybody.

Very easy. If one is particular definitely conclusion should be particular (particular means come) without middle term.
