I. Some red are pink → True (As some yellow are pink and all yellow are red. Thus, some red are pink)

II. Some pink are yellow → True (As some yellow are pink. Thus, some pink are yellow)

III. Some blue is yellow → False (It is possible but not definite)

IV. Some red is blue → False (It is possible but not definite)

Hence, ‘Only conclusions I and II follow’ is the correct answer.
