Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some O are not P – It is clear from the Venn diagram that all P is W and no W is O. Therefore, no O can be P, which means some O will definitely not be P.
Conclusion (II): All W is O – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between W and O. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, the only conclusion I follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
