Conclusions:

I. Some pilgrims are workers → True (because all workers are pilgrims so some pilgrims are also workers)

II. No worker is tired → False (it is possible but not definite)

III. No worker is a traveller → True (because all workers are pilgrims and no pilgrim is a traveller so definitely no worker is a traveller)

IV. No tired is a pilgrim → False (it is possible but not definite)

Hence, “Only conclusions I and III follow”.
