Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All butterflies are parrots – It is a possibility that the circle representing butterflies is completely overlapped by the circle that represents parrots. But, this is not definite. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some parrots are butterflies – It is a possibility that the two circles representing parrots and butterflies overlap and have a part of their area in common. But, this is not definite. So, this conclusion does not follow.

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