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 mobiles are tall – From the Venn diagram, we can see that there is no direct relation between mobile and tall. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): All tall are wide – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing tall lie inside the circle representing wide while some lie outside. So, this conclusion does not follow.

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