Give answer.
Statements :

No bike is bus.
Conclusions :
I. No bicycle is a bike.
II. No car is bus.
Options
- AIf only conclusion I follows.
- Bif only conclusion II follows.
- Cif either conclusion I or II follows.
- Dif neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Correct answer
A. If only conclusion I follows.
Step-by-step solution
All bicycles are cars (A) + No car is a bike (E)
A + E = E
No bicycle is a bike (E).
Hence, conclusion I follows.
Again, No car is bike (E) + No Master is bus (E)
E + E = No Conclusion.
Hence conclusion II does not follow.
Hence, option A is correct.
