Option C

Both (I) and (II) follow

Solution :

Correct Option: Both (I) and (II) follow


Step-by-Step Explanation:


1. Analyzing the Given Statements:

Statement 1: "All students like excursions."
This means that every single person in the set of "students" falls into the category of people who "like excursions".

Statement 2: "Some students go for higher education."
This means there is an intersection between the set of "students" and the set of people who "go for higher education". A portion of students pursue higher education, while the remaining portion of students do not.


2. Evaluating Conclusion (I):

"Students who go for higher education also like excursions."
Since all students like excursions (from Statement 1), any sub-group of students—including those who go for higher education—must also like excursions.
Therefore, Conclusion (I) follows.


3. Evaluating Conclusion (II):

"Some students do not go for higher education, but like excursions."
Since only "some" students go for higher education (from Statement 2), it directly implies that some students do not go for higher education.
Furthermore, because all students like excursions (from Statement 1), those students who do not go for higher education still belong to the category of students, and thus they also like excursions.
Therefore, Conclusion (II) follows.


Conclusion:
Both conclusions (I) and (II) logically follow from the given statements.
