Two statements are given below followed by two conclusions I and II. You have to consider the two statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the conclusions, if any follow from the given statements. Give answer:
Statements:
I. Some scales are pencils.
II. Some erasers are pencils.

I. Some pencils are erasers.
II. Some pencils are scales.

• A. Only I follows.

• C. Both I and II follow.
• D. Neither I nor II follows.
