@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)?
