    C Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both conclusion I and conclusion III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All the conclusion I, II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Each cycle is gear (A) + No gear is train (E) → No cycle is train (E). Hence conclusion I follows. Some cycle are car (I) → Conversion → Some car are cycle (I) + Each cycle is gear (A) → Some car are gear (I) → Conversion → Some gear are car (I). Hence conclusion II follows but conclusion III does not follow.
