Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): No table is weak – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all tables are strong and no strong is weak. So, from this, it can be concluded that no tables are weak. Thus, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): Some weak are tables – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all tables are strong and no strong is weak. So, from this, it can be concluded that no tables are weak and no weak is a table. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

So, only the conclusion I follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
