    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusions I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Technical are Mechanical (I) + No Mechanical is Chemical   (A) → Some Technical are not Mechanical (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. No Mechanical is Chemical (E) → Conversion → No Chemical is Mechanical (E) + All Mechanical are Electrical (A) → Some Electrical is not Chemical (O). Hence conclusion II follows. Some Technical are Mechanical (I) + All Mechanical are Electrical (A) → Some Technical are Electrical (I). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
