Only I follows

Only II follows

Either I or II follows

Neither I nor II follows

Both I and II follow

Explanation:

- Statements:

- Only a few cups are buckets.

- No bucket is a jug.

- Conclusion I: Some cups are not buckets.

- Since only a few cups are buckets, it implies that some cups are not buckets. This conclusion follows logically.

- Conclusion II: Some cups are not jugs.

- No bucket is a jug, and since only a few cups are buckets, some cups could still be categorized separately from jugs. This makes Conclusion II logically valid.

- Option 1: Only I follows.

- Incorrect, as both conclusions logically follow from the statements.

- Option 2: Only II follows.

- Incorrect, as both conclusions logically follow from the statements.

- Option 3: Either I or II follows.

- Incorrect, as this infers that only one of the conclusions can follow, which is not the case here.

- Option 4: Neither I nor II follows.

- Incorrect, as both conclusions follow.

- Option 5: Both I and II follow.

- Correct.
