Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some knives are forks – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between knives and forks. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion (II): No stick is a spoon – According to the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between a stick and a spoon. Therefore, this conclusion is false.

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