Statements : All pens are chalks. All chairs are chalks.

Conclusions :
I. Some pens are chairs.
II. Some chalks are pens.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Since the middle term 'chalks' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, II is the converse of the first premise and so it holds.
