    a dog. Mostly camels are rats. No camel is a cow Conclusions: I. No cat is rat. II. A few camels are dogs. III. Mostly rats are not cows.
    A Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B All the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II and III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only dogs are cats → All cats are dogs (A) and cats cannot have positive relation with anyone. Hence conclusion I follows as it represents negative relation. Mostly camels are rats (A) + No rat is a dog (E) → No camel is a dog (E). Hence conclusion II does not follow. No camel is a cow (E) → Conversion → No cow is a camel (E) + Mostly camels are rats (A) → Some rats are cows (O*). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
