Statements: 1) All butterflies are reptiles. 2) All reptiles are mammals. Conclusion: I. All mammals are butterflies. II. All butterflies are mammals. Correct Answer Only conclusion II follows.

I. All mammals are butterflies. → False (As, All butterflies are reptiles and All reptiles are mammals → some mammals are butterflies)
II. All butterflies are mammals → True (As, All butterflies are reptiles and All reptiles are mammals → All butterflies are mammals)
Hence, only conclusion II follows.
