Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some t is c – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all c is f and no f is t. So, it can be concluded that no c is t. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): No p is t – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all p is c, all c is f and no f is t. So, it can be concluded that no p is t.

So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
