{'conclusion ii follow': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'conclusion ii': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'conclusion': [0, 1, 1, 6], 'conclusions': [0, 2, 1, 2], 'healthy persons': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'sportsmen': [1, 0, 0, 1]}

The given statements state that Mohan is a good sportsman and that sportsmen are healthy.

Conclusion I states that all healthy persons are sportsmen. This conclusion cannot be inferred from the given statements because being a good sportsman is not the only criteria for being healthy. There could be other factors that contribute to a person`s health besides being a sportsman. Therefore, Conclusion I does not follow.

Conclusion II states that Mohan is healthy. This conclusion can be inferred from the given statements because it is stated that Mohan is a good sportsman and sportsmen are healthy. Since Mohan is a sportsman, it can be concluded that he is healthy. Therefore, Conclusion II follows.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is option 2: Only Conclusion II follows.
