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 kings are beautiful – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing kings and beautiful overlap each other and have a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some kings are beautiful. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): All queens are kings – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing kings and queens overlap each other and have a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some queens are kings. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

Therefore, neither of the conclusions follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
