Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All prisoners are educated – From the Venn diagram, we can see that none of the prisoners are educated as there is no overlap. So, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion (II): No men are educated – From the Venn diagram, we can see that none of the prisoners are educated and the circle of men lies inside the circle of prisoners. So, from this, it can be inferred that if no prisoners are educated then no men are educated. Thus, this conclusion follows.
So, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
