Statements are given below followed by two conclusions I and II.

Statements: All cups are plates. Some plates are glasses. All mugs are glasses. Conclusions: I. Some glasses are cups. II. Some mugs are cups.
Neither conclusion I nor II is true.
Neither conclusion I nor II is true. is correct.
Draw the circles: the cups circle lies wholly inside the plates circle ('All cups are plates'); the glasses circle overlaps the plates circle ('Some plates are glasses'); the mugs circle lies wholly inside the glasses circle ('All mugs are glasses').
Conclusion I, 'Some glasses are cups': the glasses circle may overlap only the part of plates that lies outside cups. Then no glass is a cup, so conclusion I is not certain.
Conclusion II, 'Some mugs are cups': mugs are linked only to glasses and cups only to plates; no statement connects mugs with cups directly, so conclusion II is not certain either.
The two conclusions are about different pairs of terms, so they do not form an either-or pair. Hence neither conclusion is true.
