In each of the questions below are given some statements followed by two conclusions. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

All Books are Bags.

No bags are pens.

Only few pens are cats.

No cats are books.

Conclusion

I: All bags are cats.

II: Some bags are not cats.

AOption (a)
If only conclusion I follows.
BOption (b)
If only conclusion II follows.

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:

Conclusion:

I: All bags are cats: False (No direct relation between Bags and cats, it is possible but not definite)

II: Some bags are not cats: True (The part of Bags which is books can never be cats as no cats are books)
