    B Only conclusion II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only the conclusion I and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only the conclusion II and III follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    All banana is apple (A) + Some apple is pear (I) → No conclusion. Hence conclusion I does not follow. All banana is apple (A) → Conversion → Some apple is banana (I). Hence conclusion II follows. All banana is apple (A) + Some apple is pear (I) → Probable conclusion → Some banana may be pear (I). Hence conclusion III follows.
