Correct Answer: Either conclusion I or II follows


Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is given below –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): No crow is a parrot – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that no relation is defined between crows and parrots. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (II): Some crows are parrots – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that circles of crows and parrots don't overlap. So, some crows are parrots not true.
But after analysing both conclusions it is clear that there may be some crows who are parrots or maybe no crow is a parrot.

So, Either conclusion I or conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
