  1. A
    Only conclusion 1 follows
  2. B
    Neither conclusion 1 nor 2 follow
  3. C
    Both the conclusions 1 and 2 follow
  4. D
    Only conclusion 2 follows

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's evaluate the conclusions:
Conclusion 1: Statement 2 says "All the frames are stools." Therefore, its converse "Some stools are frames" must be true. Hence, conclusion 1 follows.

Conclusion 2: Statement 1 says "Some chairs are stools." Therefore, its converse "Some stools are chairs" must be true. Hence, conclusion 2 follows.

Both conclusions 1 and 2 logically follow.
