Question

Statements: Some pens are books. All books are papers. Conclusions: I. Some pens are papers. II. All papers are books. Which conclusion follows?

• A. Only I follows
• B. Only II follows
• C. Both follow
• D. Neither follows

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Venn view.
Books sit inside papers, and some pens sit inside books, hence inside papers (I true). Papers is the larger set, so it cannot all be books (II false).
\[\boxed{\textrm{Only I follows}}\]
