Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
As discussed above, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'Some books are not pencils'. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.This Question Belongs to Competitive Reasoning >> Logical Deduction
