    C If either conclusion I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some birds are sparrows (I) + Some sparrows are duck (I) ⇒ no conclusion cannot be drawn. Hence, conclusion I will not follow. Some birds are sparrows (I) ⇒ conversion ⇒ Some sparrows are birds (I). [Probable conclusion] ⇒ A. Hence, conclusion II will follow.
