D C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

  1. Some papers are pen: This means there is at least one pen that is a paper, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there are pencils that are papers. It only implies a partial overlap between papers and pens.
  2. All pencils are pen: This statement indicates that every pencil is a pen, which doesn't necessarily mean that there are pencils that are papers. It only implies that all pencils belong to the category of pens.
Conclusion I: Some pencils are papers. This conclusion cannot be logically inferred from the given statements. Just because some papers are pens and all pencils are pens, it doesn't guarantee that there are pencils that are papers. Therefore, conclusion I does not follow. Conclusion II: Some pen pencils are one of the following options to choose appropriate. This conclusion is not clear and seems incomplete. It doesn't logically follow from the given statements either. Therefore, the correct answer is (D) neither I nor II follows.
