Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Rahul is not a donkey – From the Venn diagram, we can see that no man is a donkey and the circle of Rahul is completely inside the circle of man. Therefore, Rahul is not a donkey is a true conclusion.
Conclusion (II): All men are not Rahul – From the Venn diagram, we can see that there is no negative relation between the men and Rahul. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
