      Solution

      Only a few Indoor are Outside → All Outside may be Indoor (A). Hence conclusion I follows. Some Inside are Outside (I) + [All Ground are Outside (A) → Conversion] → Some Outside are Ground (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion II does not follow. Some Inside are Outside (I) → Conversion → Some Outside are Inside (I). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
