    C II and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A + E = E. E type is a negative proposition from which no positive definite conclusion can be derived. Hence, conclusion I will not follow. All shelters are sheds (A) ⇒ Probable conclusion ⇒ All sheds may be shelters(A). Hence, conclusion II will follow. No shed is a cave(E) ⇒ conversion ⇒ Some caves are not sheds(O). Hence, conclusion II does not follow.
