Solution

The correct answer is "II follows".

Here's the step by step reasoning:

Statement 1: Some saints are Faquirs. This means that there is an overlap between saints and Faquirs. Some saints can be Faquirs, but not all.

Statement 2: No Faquir is King. This means that there is no overlap between Faquirs and Kings. They are two completely separate groups.

Conclusion I: Some saints are kings. We cannot determine this from the statements. The statements tell us nothing about a relationship between saints and kings.

Conclusion II: No saint is king. This conclusion follows from the statements. Since some saints are Faquirs, and no Faquir is a king, it follows that those saints who are Faquirs cannot be kings.

Therefore, the correct answer is "II follows".
