Correct Answer: None of the conclusions follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: All G is P – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing G lie inside the circle representing P while some lie outside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some G is P. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: All P is F – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing P and F overlap and have some parts of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some P is F. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion III: Some F is not G – It is a possibility that some parts of the circle representing F are not overlapped by the circle representing G. But this is not definite. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

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