    Statements:

    All Tigers are Lions.

    Conclusions:

    I. Some Lions are Camels.

    II. No Tiger is a Monkey.

    B Only conclusion I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither Conclusion I nor II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Tigers are Lions (A) → Conversion → Some Lions are Tigers (I) + All Tigers are Camels (A)  → Some Lions are Camels (I). Hence conclusion I follows. All Tigers are Lions (A) + [No Monkey is a Lion (E) → Conversion] → No Lion is a Monkey (E) → No Tiger is a Monkey (E). Hence conclusion II follows.
