    A Only Conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only Conclusion I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only Conclusion II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only Conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some Rack is Almirah (I) + No Almirah is Shelf (E) → Some Rack is not Shelf (O). Hence conclusion I does not follow. Some Rack is Almirah (I) + All Almirah is Cupboard (A) → Some Rack is Cupboard (I) → Conversion → Some Cupboard is Rack (I). Hence conclusion II follows. All Almirah is Cupboard (A) → Conversion → Some Cupboard is Almirah (I) + No Almirah is Shelf (E) → Some Cupboard is not Almirah (O). Hence conclusion III does not follow.
