Statements: Some clothes are marbles. Some marbles are bags.
Conclusions:
- No cloth is a bag.
- All marbles are bags.
- Some bags are clothes.
- No marble is a cloth.

The answer is C.
NO clear relationship of the bag is given. So statements 1, 2, 3 are not reliable and option 4 is definitely false.

Complementary pair: According to the two statements, one of the two conclusions has to be true.
Take a basket containing only apples.
(1) No apple is rotten.
(2) Some rotten is apple.
It _has to be_ either (1) or either (2), understand?
Here, 'some' qualifies as at least one [quantity].
