Venn diagram
Now, let's consider each conclusion:
I. Some bags are not pouches. This conclusion is already stated in Statement I, which says, "Some bags are not pouches." So, this conclusion follows directly from Statement I.
II. Some pockets are bags. This conclusion does not necessarily follow from the given statements. Statement II mentions that "No pocket is a pouch," which means there is no overlap between pockets and pouches. It does not provide information about pockets being bags or having any relationship with bags. Therefore, conclusion II cannot be drawn based on the given information.
In summary, conclusion I ("Some bags are not pouches") follows from the given statements, but conclusion II ("Some pockets are bags") does not follow from the provided information.
Hence, the first option is correct.
