Question

Statements : Some books are pens. No pen is pencil.
Conclusions :
I. Some books are pencils.
II. No book is pencil.

Options:

A . Only conclusion I follows

B . Only conclusion II follows

C . Either I or II follows

D . Neither I nor II follows

E . Both I and II follow

Answer: Option C
As discussed above, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some books are not pencils'. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.
