Correct Answer: Both conclusions I and II follows


Solution : According to the given statements, the venn diagram is given below –


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some R are not P – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that No P is R or No R is P. Thus if all R is not P is true it is obvious that some R is not P is also true. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): Some M are not R – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all P are M and No P is R and all P is the part of M. So, some M are not R is true thus this conclusion follows.

So, both conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
