Correct Answer: Neither conclusion follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All K is R – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing K lie outside the circle representing R while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some K is R. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): All C is R – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the two circles representing C and R overlap and have a part of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some C is R. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III): All C is K – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the two circles representing C and K overlap and have a part of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some C is K. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

So, none of the conclusions follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
