    C Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Either conclusion I or II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some height is weight (I) + Mostly weight is scale (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. Mostly weight is scale (I) + All scale is distance (A) → Some weight is distance (I) → conversion → Some distance is weight (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
