Statements: All chairs are bats. No bat is a hat. Conclusions: (I) No chair is a hat. (II) Some hats are bats.
Only conclusion (I) follows
Given statements: All chairs are bats (chairs ⊆ bats); No bat is a hat (bats ∩ hats = ∅).
Conclusion (I): No chair is a hat. Since all chairs are bats and no bat is a hat, no chair can be a hat. This conclusion FOLLOWS.
Conclusion (II): Some hats are bats. The statement 'No bat is a hat' is universal and negative — it means the sets of bats and hats are completely disjoint. Therefore no hat is a bat, and this conclusion does NOT follow.
Hence, only conclusion (I) follows.
