2.All women teachers are present

AOnly conclusion I follows

BOnly conclusion II follows ✓ Correct

CBoth conclusions I and II follow

DNeither conclusion I nor II follows

Correct answer: (B) Only conclusion II follows

Explanation

Only the second conclusion, that all women teachers are present, follows.

'Some teachers are women' guarantees that women teachers exist.

Being teachers, those women are among those who are present.

Nothing rules out male teachers, so the first conclusion does not follow.
