    All K are J(A) + Some J are  L(I) ⇒   No conclusion. Hence conclusion I and II does not follow but they will make a complementary pair. Hence either conclusion I or II follows. All M are K(A) + All K are J(A) ⇒ All rose are marigold(A) ⇒ Conversion ⇒   Some J are M(I). Hence conclusion III follows.
