Directions: In each question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions. You have to take the given

Options

Aif only conclusion I follows
Bif only conclusion II follows
Cif both conclusion I and II follow
Dif neither conclusion I nor II follows

Correct answer

B. if only conclusion II follows

Step-by-step solution

Analytical Method:

All woods are chairs (A) + No chair is a table (E) = A + E = E = No wood is a table.

Hence, conclusion II follows.

Hence, option B is correct.
