    D)  if either conclusion I or II follows.

    E)  if only conclusion I follows.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    All papers are books (A)+ No book is a magazine (E) = A + E = E = No paper is a magazine (E). Now, No paper is a magazine (E) + All magazines are novels (A) = E + A = O* = Some novels are not papers (0*). Hence conclusion I follows. No book is a magazine (E) + All magazines are novels (A) = R + A = O* = Some novels are not books (O*). Thus, the possibility in II exists. Hence conclusion II follows.
