Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statement is as follows –


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some tables are chairs – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no definite relation between tables and chairs. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: No solid is chair – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between solid and chair. Thus, it can be concluded that no solid is a chair.

So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
