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

    Solution

    Statements: Some Onion are Brinjals Only a few Tomato are Brinjals No Cauliflower is Cucumber All Tomato are Cauliflower Conclusion: I. All Cauliflower can be Brinjals. II. No Cucumber is Tomato. III. All Brinjals can be Cauliflower. All Tomato are Cauliflower (A) → Conversion → Some Cauliflower are Tomato (I) + Only a few Tomato are Brinjals (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All Tomato are Cauliflower (A) + No Cauliflower is Cucumber (E) → No Tomato is Cucumber (E) → Conversion → No Cucumber is Tomato (E). Hence conclusion II follows. All Tomato are Cauliflower (A) → Conversion → Some Cauliflower are Tomato (I) + Only a few Tomato are Brinjals (I) → Probable conclusion → All Brinjals can be Cauliflower (A). Hence conclusion III follows.
