All of you please don't think. Follow the rules.
1. Check the statements 1&2 are o and a type which does not have conclusions so con 1 is wrong.
2. Now con 2 is of single statement type and of A type which as a rule is converted into I type that is some cats are dogs the is why only con-2 is true and 1 does not follow.

By Raval's notation statements are DD / DgDg and DgDg - C now conclusions can be deduced at glance.
First conclusion DD / CC is straightaway ruled out because we don't have any CC in statement.
Second conclusion CC / DD is also ruled out.
Third conclusion C - Dg follows from statement DgDg - C on reverse reading.
Fourth conclusion CC - Dg is ruled out straightaway because of no CC in statement notations.
First conclusion DD / CC is straightaway ruled out because we don't have any CC in statement.
Second conclusion CC / DD is also ruled out.
Third conclusion C - Dg follows from statement DgDg - C on reverse reading.
Fourth conclusion CC - Dg is ruled out straightaway because of no CC in statement notations.

I learned that negative statement should have negative conclusion only. So I find no conclusion.

I don't agree with you all. We cannot say the options 1 and 2 because the relationship between the doors and the cats is not given in the statements. All dogs are cats doesn't mean that all cats are dogs. Some cats are dogs and the others may be doors. When we are not sure we cannot say options 1 and 2. We are sure only about the option 3. So only 3 follows.
