2.All men are not Karan

AOnly conclusion I follows ✓ Correct

BOnly conclusion II follows

CBoth conclusions I and II follow

DNeither conclusion I nor II follows

Correct answer: (A) Only conclusion I follows

Explanation

Only the first conclusion, that Karan is not a tiger, follows.

'No man is a tiger' separates the whole class of men from tigers.

Karan is stated to be a man, so he falls inside that class.

Hence Karan too is excluded from being a tiger.

The second statement is a garbled remark that no premise supports.
