Correct Answer: No conclusion follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some mangoes are not raw – There is no direct or definite negative relation between mango and raw. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: Some red are not mangoes – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some mangoes are not red but there is no negative relation of red with mangoes. Thus, the given conclusion cannot be drawn. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion III: All raw are red – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing raw lie inside the circle representing red while some lie outside. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, no conclusion follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
