From the above-given statements, we can draw a Venn diagram which is given below.
Conclusion i) Some copy are not pencil.
Some copy which are book is not pencil. So conclusion “Some copy are not pencil.” is true.
Conclusion ii) Some pen are book.
In the statement, “All books are pen.” is given. So “Some pen are book.” will be true.
So Both conclusion (i) and conclusion (ii) follow.
Hence, option c is the correct answer.
Question 11: In each of the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows the given statements.
Statements:

d) None of these.
11) Answer (C)
Solution:
From the above-given statements, we can make a venn diagram which is given below.
Conclusion i) Some mouse are monitor.
Conclusion ii) No monitor is mouse.
In Conclusion i) and Conclusion ii) either or case is generating. Because here we don’t have direct information about ‘monitor’ and ‘mouse’. If ‘some’ is possible between them. Then ‘no’ is not possible and vice versa.
Conclusion iii) Some keyboard are mouse.
This conclusion is definitely true. Because in the statement “All mouse are keyboard.” is given.
So Conclusion (iii) and either conclusion (i) or conclusion (ii) follow.
Hence, option c is the correct answer.
Question 12: In each of the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows the given statements.
