    D Both conclusion I and III follow. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Multiplication are Subtraction (I) + All Subtraction are Division (A) → Some Multiplication are Division (I). Hence conclusion I follows. All Subtraction are Division (A) + Some Division are Reminder (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. No Addition is a Multiplication (E) + Some Multiplication are Subtraction (I) → Some Subtraction are not Addition (O*) → Probable conclusion → Some Subtraction multiplication be Addition (I). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
