Correct Answer: Both conclusions II and III follow


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the statements given in the question –



Let's check the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some F are A – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between F and A. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: No D is A – According to the Venn diagram, no A is D therefore no D is A is also true. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion III: Some F is not A – According to the Venn diagram, some F are D and no A is D, therefore the F that is D can never be A. Therefore, this conclusion follows.

So, from the above, only conclusions II and III follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
