Correct Answer: Both conclusions I and III follow
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some S is W – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circles representing S lie outside the circle representing W while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some S is W. Therefore, this conclusion follows. Conclusion II: All S is D – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between S and D. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion III: No W is D – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a direct negative relation between W and D. Therefore, it can be concluded that no W is D.
So, both conclusions I and III follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
