Statements: 1. No A is B. 2. Some B are C. Conclusions: I. Some C are not A. II. Some A are not C. Which conclusion(s) logically follow? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Statements:
1. No A is B.
2. Some B are C.
Conclusions:
I. Some C are not A.
II. Some A are not C.
Which conclusion(s) logically follow?
A. Only conclusion I follows
B. Neither I nor II follows
C. Only conclusion II follows
D. Both I and II follow
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Since some B are C, and no B is A, the portion of C that is B can never be A. Thus, some C are definitely not A (Conclusion I). However, we do not know if the rest of A interacts with the rest of C, so Conclusion II does not follow.
