Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
No T is G – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no definite relation between G and T. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
No K is T –
From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing K and T overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus,
this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III):
All K is G –
From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing K lie inside the circle representing G while some lie outside. Thus,
this conclusion does not follow.
