In the given statements:
Statements :
No mat is fan.
Some fans are cars.
All cars are shirts.
Conclusions :
I. All mats are cars. - False. There is no direct relationship established between mats and cars in the statements. Hence, conclusion I does not follow.
II. All shirts are cars. - True. Since all cars are shirts, this conclusion follows from the given statements.
