Statements: Some Jokers are Curtains Every Curtains are Tigers Conclusions: I. Some Tigers are Jokers II. All Curtains are Jokers III. Some Jokers are not Tigers

    B None of the conclusion follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
