Conclusions:

I. No Blanket is Jacket → not follows (It is possible but not definite).

II. Some Black are cotton → not follows (It is possible but not definite).

III. Some Cotton are Jacket → not follows (It is possible but not definite).

IV. Some Jacket are Blanket → not follows (It is possible but not definite).

Since conclusion I and IV form complementary pair.

Hence, either conclusion I or IV follows.
