Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows
Solution :
As per the given information, let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Meena is a star – Based on the given statements, it is given that some girls are stars and Meena is a girl. From this, Meena doesn't need to be a star because some girls are stars not all girls are stars. Thus, Meena may or may not be a star. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
Some stars are not girls – Based on the given statements, it is given that some girls are stars. But it is nowhere stated some girls are not stars or some stars are not girls. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
