Statements : Some papers are pens. Angle is a paper.

Conclusions :
I. Angle is not a pen.
II. Angle is a pen.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
Since the middle term 'papers' is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows. However, I and II involve only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or II follows.
