    D Only conclusions II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of the conclusions follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All Numbers are Consonants (A) + Some Consonants are not Alphabets (O) → No conclusion. Hence neither conclusion I nor III follow. Few Numbers are Letters (I) → Conversion → Some Letters are Numbers (I) + All Numbers are Consonants (A) → Some Letters are Consonants (I). Hence conclusion II follows.
