    B Both conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Alphabet are Letter (I) + All Letter are Vowel (A) → Some Alphabet are Vowel (I). Hence conclusion I follows. All Letter are Vowel (A) → Conversion → Some Vowel are Letter (I) + No Letter is Number (E) → Some Vowel are not Number (O).  Hence conclusion II does not follow.
