Correct Answer: Neither conclusion follows


Solution : According to the given statements, the following Venn diagram can be drawn –

Conclusion I: All Q is R – From the above Venn diagram, the circle that represents R lies inside the circle that represents Q. So, from this, it can be inferred that some Q can be R. But all are R is not definite. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: All P is R – From the given statements and the above Venn diagram, there is no direct relation between P and R. So, no conclusion can be drawn from it.

So, neither conclusion follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
