Correct Answer: Neither conclusion follows


Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is –


Let us analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: All S are P – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing S and P overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, it can be concluded that some S are P but all S are not P.
Conclusion II: . All L are S – It is a possibility that the circle representing L is completely overlapped by the circle representing S. But this is not definite. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, neither conclusion follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
