Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: No E is A – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all A is D and no D is E. So, from this, it can be concluded that no E is A. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion II: All D is A – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circles representing D lie outside the circle representing A while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some D is A. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion III: All E is D – From the Venn diagram, there is a negative relation between E and D. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
