    D None follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No bull is a goat (E) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence, conclusion I will not follow. No cow is a bull (E) + No bull is a goat (E) ⇒ No conclusion. Hence, conclusion II will not follow. Some goat are sheep(I) ⇒ Conversion ⇒ Some sheep are goat(I). Hence, conclusion III follows.
