in both of your solutions, you assumed that the "and"-function is defined even
for the array type. But you didn't define that function like e.g.

package body Some_Package is
   function "And" (Left, Right: Private_Type) return Private_Type   is
      Return_Value : Private_Type;
   begin
      for I in Left'Range loop
         Return_Value (I) := Left (I) and Right (I);
      end loop;
      return Return_Value;
   end "and";
end Some_Package;
