Correct Solution: Option B

Step-by-step Solution:

Logical Analysis

Conclusion I: "Some statues which are stands are also tables." (Does not follow)
The premises state that All Tables are Chairs and No Chair is a Stand. This creates a definite separation, meaning no Table can be a Stand. Therefore, this conclusion is logically impossible.
Conclusion II: "Some statues are not chairs." (Follows)
The premises state that All Stands are Statues and No Chair is a Stand. This means the entire group of "Stands" exists within the "Statues" group, but is completely separate from the "Chairs" group. Therefore, there is a portion of Statues (the ones that are Stands) that are not Chairs.

Correct Option: B. Only conclusion 2 follows.
