    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Only Eyes are Paper → All Paper are Eyes and Paper cannot have any positive relation with anyone. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Tears are Eyes (I) + Some Eyes are not Ear (O) → Probable conclusion → Some Ear can be Tears (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
