    Statements:

    Some roses are tulips.

    Some tulips are lilies.

    Conclusions:

    I. Some lilies are tulips.

    II. All lilies are tulips.

    III. Some roses are lilies. 

    A None of the conclusions follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion III follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only conclusion II follows. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Some tulips are lilies (I) → Conversion → Some lilies are tulips (I). Hence conclusion I follows but conclusion II does not follow. Some roses are tulips (I) + Some tulips are lilies (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion III does not follow.
