The option no 1 & 3 is the answer.
Comparing sentence 1 & 2 - All green are white.
After the conversion of both sentences (1 & 2) its become.
1. Some blue are green.
2. Some white are blue.

Yes, the answer is correct because we need to convert the conversion statement.
All statement will convert into some white are green.
All statement will convert into some white are green.

Well, (1) is obviously correct (4) is obviously not. But I could not decide whether I should pick 2 or 3. In accordance with venn diagram - both seemed to be correct.(white could either "touch" green and, thus, blue) or touch only blue - maybe I did something wrong) initially I thought
so I had to make AAI-4 scheme which showed that (2) was a right option.

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.
I hope this was helpful for you.
