Statements: All bags are cakes. All lamps are cakes.
Conclusions:
- Some lamps are bags.
- No lamp is bag.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since the middle term 'cakes' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. So, either I or II follows.
