correct answer is: option d : Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Explanation: The given statements are: I. All bottles are cups. II. Some cups are jugs. Let's analyze the conclusions: Conclusion I: Some bottles are jugs. Since all bottles are inside the cups, and some cups are jugs, it's possible that the jugs and bottles don't overlap. Therefore, this conclusion doesn't necessarily follow. Conclusion II: No jug is cup. This is definitively false based on the given information that *some* cups are jugs. Therefore, neither conclusion I nor II follows.
- Option a : Only conclusion I follows. This is incorrect because Conclusion I does not necessarily follow.
- Option b : Only conclusion II follows. This is incorrect because Conclusion II does not follow. In fact, it contradicts the given statements.
- Option c : Either conclusion I or II follows. This is incorrect because neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II necessarily follows.
- Option d : Neither conclusion I nor II follows. This is the correct answer because neither conclusion can be definitively derived from the given statements.
