Obviously 1st conclusion is correct because some blue being is green cause of all green are blue and 2nd conclusion is correct because all blue is white and all green is blue so it make me connection between white and green.
3rd conclusion there is no direct connection Between green to white and Possibility not given that's why it's incorrect. Conclusion 4th we can't say the free space of white what is that so all white being are not blue.

Option 1 must be correct According to conversion rule A change into I from statement 1 its not necessary to combine or merge them.
Option 2according to rule A+A=A this option is wrong SOME can not be here and green is distributed in 1st statement and in SOME or particular affirmative both subject and Predicate are undistributed.
Option 3 conclusion can never be negative when statements are positive so this option is also wrong.
Option 4 WRONG distribution fallacy.
So, Only option 1 is correct.
Option 2according to rule A+A=A this option is wrong SOME can not be here and green is distributed in 1st statement and in SOME or particular affirmative both subject and Predicate are undistributed.

Option A:1&2 is correct. Why because some blue are green, some white also green.
3rd option is wrong because in the given statement "not" is not mentioned anywhere that's why absolutely that is the wrong & 4th option has not converted that Statement.

The correct answer is (a) obviously (b) could never be right. According to the first statement "all green are blue, " green could never be any other colour besides blue. So, when the 3rd conclusion says that some green isn't white. It basically says that some other green are, or could be white. That is impossible, because "all green are blue.
