Solution

The correct answer is "If both conclusion I and conclusion II follows".

Here's the step-by-step reasoning:

  1. The first statement says "All funnels are flasks". This means every funnel is a flask.

  2. The second statement says "No flask is a beaker". This means there is no overlap between flasks and beakers. Since all funnels are flasks, it also means that no funnel can be a beaker.

  3. The third statement says "All funnels are test tubes". This means every funnel is a test tube.

  4. Conclusion I says "Some test tubes are not beakers". Since all funnels are test tubes and no funnel is a beaker (from the second statement), it means that some test tubes are indeed not beakers. So, conclusion I follows.

  5. Conclusion II says "No funnel is a beaker". As explained in point 2, no funnel can be a beaker. So, conclusion II also follows.

Therefore, both conclusions I and II follow the given statements.
