Correct Answer: Both conclusions I and II follow


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): No N is J – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between N and J. Thus, it can be concluded that no N is J.
Conclusion (II): Some N are M – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing N and M overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, it can be concluded that some N are M.
Conclusion (III): All J are M – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no definite relation between J and M. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

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