    >                     All lilies are lotuses.                      Some lotuses are not hibiscus. Conclusions: I. Some roses are lotus.                        II. Some roses are hibiscuses.
    A If only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some roses are lilies (I) + All lilies are lotus (A) ⇒ Some roses are lotus (I). Hence, conclusion I will follow.  Some roses are lilies (I) + All lilies are lotus (A)  ⇒  Some roses are lotus (I) + Some lotuses are not hibiscus (O) = No conclusion, Hence conclusion II does not follow.
