Correct Answer: Neither conclusion follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All pens are rubbers- As shown in the diagram, all rubbers are pens which means that some pens are rubber. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (II): All tables are pens - As shown in the diagram, all pens are tables which means some tables are pens. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (III): No rubber is a table - As shown in the diagram, all rubbers are tables as the circle of rubber is in the circle of the table. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.

So, neither of the conclusions follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
