Question

**Statements:**  
(I) Some books are erasers.  
(II) Some erasers are black.  
(III) No black is green.

**Conclusions:**  
(I) Some books are green.  
(II) All erasers are green.

Which of the following conclusions can be definitely drawn from the statements given in the options?

Accepted Answer

1. **Analyze the statements**:  
   - **Statement I**: Some books are erasers. This does not imply anything about books being green.  
   - **Statement II**: Some erasers are black. This does not imply that all erasers are green.  
   - **Statement III**: No black is green. This rules out any overlap between black and green objects.

2. **Evaluate Conclusion I**:  
   "Some books are green" cannot be concluded because there is no information connecting books to green objects.

3. **Evaluate Conclusion II**:  
   "All erasers are green" cannot be concluded because some erasers are black, and no black is green.

4. **Final deduction**:  
   Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows from the given statements.

Thus, the correct answer is **(b)** Neither (I) nor (II) follows.
