Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.   Statements:   Only a few Pins are Pans Some Pans are Bricks   Conclusions:   I. All Bricks can be Pans is a possibility Il. Some Pins are not Bricks
    A Only I follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II follows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II follow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
