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:
Conclusions (I): Some L are C - In the above diagram it is clearly shown that circles of L and C are independent. It doesn't define any relation between them. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (II): Some B are C - In the above diagram it is clearly shown that a relation of no is given between B and C and if it is clear that no B are C or vice versa so some B are C is not true and this conclusion doesn't follow.

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