    Statements: (I) All tubes are handles.

                        (II) All cups are handles.

    Conclusion: (I) All cups are tubes.

                       (II) Some handles are not cups.

    Only conclusion I follows

    Incorrect Answer

    Only conclusion II follows

    Incorrect Answer

    Either conclusion I or II follows

    Incorrect Answer

    Neither conclusion I and II follows

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    Both the premises are A type propositions.

    So, in either, the middle term 'handles' forming the predicate is not distributed.

    Since the middle term is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion follows.

    Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

    I think option 2 is correct: only conclusion II follows. If we use Mediate Deductive Inference (syllogism) option 4 is correct. However, by using Immediate Deductive Inference we get the converse "Some handles are cups" for statement II which concludes into "Some handles are not cups".
