@ALL.
Statements:
All cups are books.
All books are shirts.
Conclusions:
Some cups are not shirts.
Some shirts are cups.
The Reverse of both statements are:
Some books are cups
Some shirts are books
But some + some= no conclusion
The answer must be (D )neither (1) nor (2) follows right?
Then, how the answer is (B)?

All +All =All is the basic conclusion statement obtained after applying syllogism rules. Here we obtain the.
Conclusion statement as ALL CUPS ARE SHIRTS i.e. cups are definite and shirts are indefinite. So we can.
Write shirts as indefinite one i. e SOME SHIRTS ARE CUPS, which is just a simple logic.
