Solution

The correct answer is "If only conclusion I follows".

Here's the step-by-step reasoning:

Statement 1: Some tigers are panthers. This means there is an overlap between tigers and panthers.

Statement 2: No lion is a tiger. This means there is no overlap between lions and tigers.

Conclusion I: Some panthers being lions is a possibility. This could be true because the statement does not rule out the possibility of overlap between panthers and lions. Panthers could be lions, as long as they are not the panthers that are also tigers.

Conclusion II: Panthers, which are not tigers, being lions is a possibility. This is not necessarily true because the statement "No lion is a tiger" rules out the possibility of any overlap between lions and tigers. Therefore, panthers that are not tigers cannot be lions.

So, only conclusion I follows the given statements.
