Only 1 follows

Only 2 follows

Both 1 and 2 follows

Either 1 or 2 follows

Neither 1 nor 2 follows.

Explanation:

- Statement 1: Some red are blue. (This means there is an intersection between the sets of red and blue.)

- Statement 2: No red are black. (This indicates there is no overlap between red and black.)

- Statement 3: All black are pink. (This implies black is entirely within pink, meaning every black is pink.)

- Conclusion I: Some pink are black. This follows directly from Statement 3. If all black are pink, then at least some pink must be black.

- Conclusion II: Some red are pink. This cannot be deduced because red has no overlap with black and black are within pink, creating no direct link between red and pink.

- Option 1: Only 1 follows. This is correct because only Conclusion I logically follows from the statements.
