Here the statements are;

All the papers are book.
All the bags are books.
Some purses are bags.
As shown in above dig;

Some purses are bags and all bags are books that's why purses are included in the book and from this relation some books are purses is the correct one.

Hence the answer is only 2 &3 that is C.
