Correct Answer: Only conclusion III follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
All P is R – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing P lie inside the circle representing R while some lie outside. So, from, this, it can be concluded that some P is R . Thus, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (II): All J is P – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing J lie inside the circle representing P while some lie outside. So, from, this, it can be concluded that some J is P . Thus, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (III): All R is J – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing R completely lies inside the circle representing J. So, from this, it can be concluded that a ll R is J.

So, the only conclusion III follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
