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): Some lilies are tulips – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between lilies and tulips. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some roses are daisies – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between roses and daisies. So, this conclusion does not follow.

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