Two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: All gardens are play-grounds No play-ground is house. Conclusions: I. Some gardens are houses. II. Some play-grounds are gardens.
