    C None of the above conclusions follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only Conclusion III follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No Dog is Cat (E) + All Cats are Tigers (A) → Some Tigers are not Dogs (O*) + Some Dogs are Rats (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. No Dog is Cat (E) → Conversion → Some Cats are not Dogs (O). Hence conclusion II does not follow. Some Dogs are Rats (I) → Conversion → Some Rats are Dogs (I) + No Dog is Cat (E) → Some Rats are not Cat (O). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
