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 covers are bedsheets – As shown in the diagram, all bedsheets are covers as the circle of bedsheets is in the circle of covers which means some covers are bedsheets but all covers are bedsheets is not true. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (II): Some pillows are bedsheets – As shown in the diagram, the circles of pillows and bedsheets are independent and don't define any relation between them. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.

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