    D Only conclusions I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Parent is Family (A) + All Family is Relative (A) → All Parent is Relative (A) + No Relative is Together (E) → No Parent is Together → Probable conclusion → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All Family is Relative (A) + No Relative is Together (E) → No Family is Together → conversion → Some Together is not Family (O). Hence conclusion II follows. All Parent is Family (A) + All Family is Relative (A) → All Parent is Relative (A) → conversion → Some Relative is Parent (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
