Conclusions:
- Some rackets are not cats.
- Some cats are jackets.
- Some rackets are cats.

Solution
Only either I or III and IV follow
" only cats are dogs" implies "All dogs are cats." Now all dogs are cats + conversion of statements (B) gives conclusion IV [∵ A + E = E]. Hence, Conclusion IV follows. Again, since there is no common term between statement A and (B or C), We can't get any specific conclusion regarding 'racket' or 'jacket' and 'cat'.
Therefore, neither conclusion I nor II nor conclusion III follows.
But Since conclusion, I and conclusion III make a complementary pair either conclusion I or conclusion III follows.
