                      You categorized your question under Science and Mathematics; I guess you should have put it in the "Homework Help" category. 
                      All lions are fierce.
                      Some lions do not drink coffee.
                      Some fierce creatures do not drink coffee.
                      The premises are pretty clear. Lions are fierce & some of them don't drink coffee. 
                      Since they are fierce and some don't drink coffee, the conclusion is true.  
                      I don't really know what you are trying to do mathematically, but the conclusions is valid based on the two premises.
