    Some AB are CD (I) + Some CD are LK (I) → Probable conclusion → Some AB may LK (I). Hence conclusion I follows. Some CD are LK (I) → Conversion → Some LK are CD (I). Hence conclusion II does not follow. Some CD are LK (I) → Probable conclusion → Some CD may not be LK (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
