Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows.
Conclusions:
I. Some ink is butter → Does not follow (because some nibs are ink and some nibs are butter. So, it is possible but not definitely true.)
II. All jams are nibs → Does not follow (because all jams are butter and some nibs are butter. So, it is possible but not definitely true.)
