Correct Answer: Neither I nor II


Solution : The Venn diagram is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): No cup is spoon – From the above diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between cup and spoon. So, no definite relation can be drawn between them. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

Conclusion (II): Some spoons are cups – From the above diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between cup and spoon. So, no definite relation can be drawn between them. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

So, neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
