Correct Answer: Either conclusion I or II follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): No costly is a mobile – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between costly and mobile. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some costly are mobile – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between costly and mobile. So, this conclusion does not follow.

But, Some + No is a complimentary pair, it can be concluded that either conclusion I or conclusion II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
