    B Only Conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only Conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only Conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Tables are Desks (I) → Conversion → Some Desks are Tables (I) + All Tables are Chairs (A) → Some Desks are Chairs (I) → Conversion → Some Chairs are Desks (I). Hence conclusion I does not follow but conclusion II follows. All Tables are Chairs (A) → Conversion → Some Chairs are Tables (I). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
