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): Some yellow is red – From the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between yellow and red. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion (II): No yellow is red – From the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between yellow and red. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion (III): Some green are blue – From the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between green and blue. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion (IV): No green is blue – From the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between green and blue. Therefore, this conclusion is false.

So, none of the conclusions follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
