Answer:

A. Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows

Read Explanation:

  1. Some taps are soaps.

  2. Some taps are creams.

  3. Some soaps are oils.

    Conclusion (I): Some taps are oils.

We know:

  • Some taps are soaps.

  • Some soaps are oils.

But “some” does not guarantee the same items.

The taps that are soaps may or may not be the same soaps that are oils.

So, this conclusion does not definitely follow.

Conclusion (I) does NOT follow.

Conclusion (II): Some soaps are creams.

We know:

  • Some taps are soaps.

  • Some taps are creams.

But again, the taps that are soaps may be different from the taps that are creams.

There is no direct relation given between soaps and creams.

Conclusion (II) does NOT follow.

Neither Conclusion (I) nor Conclusion (II) follows.
