By tick and cross method.
1. Universal negative so both are distributed.
2. Universal positive so dogs distributed and cats not distributed.
Then removing the common term we get option 1 as correct.
Further 3 conclusion as a statement is true.
But no cat is door i.e. option 2 is not correct since the rule suggest cat is not distributed in the premises hence it can't be distributed in the conclusion.
So final answer is option B.
<<< peace >>>.

Well there is a lot of discussion over this question so I want to put my opinion.
First of all No+All = Some.
Now Let's c d conclusions:
Conclusion I is correct in general i.e No door is cat.
Conclusion II is also correct as it is converse of Conclusion I.
Conclusion III is obvious because No+All = Some.
And lastly conclusion IV which is just the converse of Conclusion III. So I think there is no proper option to the question.

Yes: Only (3) because, no relation is given between cats and door; if option (1) is given no door is dog it follows.

Answer should be Conclusion 1, 2 & 3 follows. Since they have not mentioned the relation between the door and the cat.

Yes, The answer should be 1,2 & 3 follows as the dog is the subset of cat and the cat is nowhere related to the door.

We cannot say the options 1 and 2 because the relationship between the doors and the cats is not given in the statements.
