    B)  if only conclusion II follows.

    C)  if either conclusion I or II follows.

    D)  if neither conclusion I nor II follows.

    E)  if both conclusion I and II follow.       

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                                    Only windows are doors \[\to \] All doors are windows (A) \[\to \] conversion \[\to \] Some windows are doors (I) + No door is a stair [E] = 1 + E = O = Some windows are not stairs (O). Hence conclusion I and II do not follow. But conclusion I and II make a complementary pair (I-E). Thus, either conclusion I or II follows.
