    Solution

    Some awards are rewards (I) + Some rewards are exams (I) = no conclusion. Hence, conclusion I will not follow. Both the statements are positive statements and conclusion II is negative and we know that negative definite conclusions cannot be drawn from the positive statements. Hence, conclusion II will not follow.
