Correct Answer: Neither conclusion follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusion –
Conclusion I: Some K is J – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between K and J. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: Some L is J – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between L and J. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

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