Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Solution : According to the given statements, the venn diagram is given below – Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): No pen is blue – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that the circles of pen and blue are independent they didn't touch each other. The diagram doesn't define any relation between pens and blue. So, no pen is blue is incorrect and the conclusion doesn't follow. Conclusion (II): Some pens are not black – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that some pens are black but the diagram doesn't define anything about pens are not black. So, this conclusion is incorrect and the conclusion doesn't follow.
So, Neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
