Correct Answer: Both conclusions I and III follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some Rice are Table – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing rice and table intersect and have a part of their area in common. So, some rice is a table. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): No Salad is Rice – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing salad and rice intersect and have a part of their area in common. So, some salad is rice. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III): Some Tables are Salad.– From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle representing the salad is completely inside the circle representing the table. So, from this, it can be inferred that some tables are salad. Therefore, this conclusion follows.

So, only conclusions I and III follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
