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 actors are singers – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between actors and singers. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): All singers are dancers – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing singers and dancers overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

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