Conclusion (I) : No van is a scooter Conclusion (II) : Some scooters are trailers
Only conclusion (I) follows
All vans are trailers, and no trailer is a scooter. By transitivity, no van can be a scooter, so Conclusion I follows directly.
Since no trailer is a scooter, it also follows that no scooter is a trailer, directly contradicting Conclusion II, so it does not follow.
Hence, only conclusion (I) follows.
