Statements: All bags are cakes. All lamps are cakes. Conclusions: Some lamps are bags. No lamp is bag.

Only conclusion I follows
Only conclusion II follows
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Both I and II follow

Correct Answer: Either I or II follows

Explanation:

Since the middle term 'cakes' 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. So, either I or II follows.
