Q.

statements:
Some papers are pens. Angle is a paper.
Conclusions:
I.Angle is not a pen.
II.Angle is a pen.
                        
A. Only conclusion I follows B. Only conclusion II follows
C. Either I or II follows D. Neither I nor II follows

Answer: Option C
Explaination:

 


Since the middle term 'papers' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.
