Consider the given statements and conclusions. Choose the option that logically follows from the statements.
Statements:

* No layer is a coat.
* All coats are deposits.
* All deposits are sheets.

Conclusions:
I. All coats are sheets.
II. All deposits can never be layer.

  1. A
    Only conclusion I is true
  2. B
    Only conclusion II is true
  3. C
    Either conclusion I or II is true
  4. D
    Both conclusions I and II are true

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let us analyze the statements using Venn sets:
1. No layer is a coat: The set of Layers and the set of Coats have no intersection ().
2. All coats are deposits: The set of Coats is entirely contained within the set of Deposits ().
3. All deposits are sheets: The set of Deposits is entirely contained within the set of Sheets ().

Now let us evaluate the conclusions:

* Conclusion I: All coats are sheets. Since all coats are inside deposits, and all deposits are inside sheets, it follows definitively that all coats are inside sheets (). Hence, Conclusion I is true.
* Conclusion II: All deposits can never be layer. This statement means that it is impossible for the entire set of deposits to be contained within layers (). Since all coats are part of deposits, and no coat can be a layer, that specific part of deposits (coats) can never enter the layer set. Therefore, the entire set of deposits can never be layers. Hence, Conclusion II is true.

Since both conclusions I and II are true, the correct option is D.
