Correct Answer: Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) is true


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some circles are pyramids – From the diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between pyramids and circles. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): All pyramids are triangles – From the diagram, it is evident that the circles representing pyramids and triangles overlap each other. So, it can be concluded that only some pyramids are triangles.

So, n either conclusion (I) nor (II) is true . Hence the third option is correct.
