Answer 1

Answer: (B)

if only conclusion II follows.

Fig 1 represents the basic diagram of statements.

Conclusion 1: In fig 1, we can see there is no connection between pants and trousers. So, there cannot have any link between shirt and trousers.

Conclusion II: All pant (red area) being jackets(yellow area) is a possible case. This doesn't violate the statement : Some jackets are pants.
