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 T is R – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between R and T. So, from this, it can be concluded that no R is T. Thus, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): No S is T – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all S is R and no R is T. So, from this, it can be concluded that no S is T. Thus, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (III): No R is S – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing R lie outside the circle representing S while some lie inside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some R is S. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

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