B. Neither conclusion I nor Il follows

Read Explanation:

Let’s analyze carefully

Statements:

  1. Some actors are dancers

  2. Some dancers are singers

This means:

  • There is some overlap between actors & dancers

  • There is some overlap between dancers & singers

But we are not sure whether the same dancers are involved in both statements.

Conclusion (I): Some actors are singers

Not necessarily true.
The dancers who are actors may be different from the dancers who are singers.

Does not follow

Conclusion (II): No singer is a dancer

This directly contradicts the statement “Some dancers are singers”

Does not follow

Final Answer: Neither (I) nor (II) follows
