The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Analyze Conclusion I:

  • Some cats are ants (from Statement II). 
  • All ants are black (from Statement I).
  • Since some cats are ants and all ants are black, some cats must be black.

Conclusion I is correct.

Step 2: Analyze Conclusion II:

  • From Statement I, we know all ants are black, meaning all ants belong to the black category.
  • Statement II says some cats are ants, meaning some cats are also black.
  • This implies that some blacks are cats.

Conclusion II is also correct.

Step 3: Since both conclusions are valid, the correct answer is Both conclusions I and II follow.
