Correct Answer: Only conclusions I and III follow


Solution : Based on the given statements, the Venn diagram will be –


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some black are spoons – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that the circles that represent black and spoons overlap and have a part of their area in common. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion II: All crows are black – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that some parts of the circle that represent crows lie outside the circle that represents black. So, some crows are black. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion III: No plate is a crow – From the Venn diagram, there is a negative relation between a plate and a crow. Therefore, this conclusion follows.

​​​​So, only conclusions I and III follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
