Correct Answer: None of the conclusions follow
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: All X are D – From the above diagram, it is clear that circles of X and D are independent. The diagram doesn't define any relation between them. So this conclusion doesn't follow. Conclusion II: No M is D – From the above diagram, it is clear that circles of M and D are overlapping which means some M is D or vice versa but we can't say that no M is D from the positive statement as it doesn't define the relation of no between them. So, this conclusion doesn't follow. Conclusion III: Some X are not D – From the above diagram, it is clear that circles of X and D are independent. The diagram doesn't define any relation between them. So this conclusion doesn't follow.
So, none of the conclusions follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
