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): Some countries are cities – According to the Venn diagram, there is a negative relation between cities and countries. Therefore, some countries are cities is a false conclusion.
Conclusion (II): No village is a city – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between cities and villages. So, this conclusion is false.

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