Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Some N is T – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between N and T. So, from this, it can be concluded that no N is T. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
All N is A – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all A is T and no T is N. So, from this, it can be concluded that no A is N. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III):
Some T is A – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing T lie outside the circle representing A while some lie inside. So, it can be concluded that some T is A. Thus, this conclusion follows.
So, the only conclusion III follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
