Statements:
Some toffees are candies.
All candies are lollipops.
Conclusions:
I. No lollipop is a toffee.
II. Some lollipops are candies.
Analyze Statements
Statement 1: Some toffees are candies.
Statement 2: All candies are lollipops.
Evaluate Conclusions
Conclusion I: No lollipop is a toffee.
This conclusion is invalid. Statement 1 states that there's an overlap between toffees and candies. Statement 2 states all candies are lollipops. Combining these, the toffees that are candies must also be lollipops. Therefore, some lollipops are definitely toffees, contradicting this conclusion.
Conclusion II: Some lollipops are candies.
This conclusion is valid. Statement 2 clearly states "All candies are lollipops". This directly implies that the group of items identified as 'candies' is entirely contained within the larger group of 'lollipops'. Hence, it is true that some lollipops are candies.
Final Decision
Only Conclusion II logically follows from the given statements.
