Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
No L is W – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing L lie outside the circle representing W while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some L is W. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
No M is L – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing M lie outside the circle representing L while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some M is L. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III):
No M is W – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing M lie outside the circle representing W while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some M is W. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
So, none of the conclusions follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
