Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All fishes are water – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing fishes and water overlap and have a part of their area in common. Therefore some fishes are water is true but all fishes are water is a false conclusion.
Conclusion (II): Some whites are fishes – From the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between whites and fishes. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
