Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): Some apples are bitter – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that no relation between the circles of apple and bitter is defined. Therefore, some apples are bitter is a false conclusion. Conclusion (II): No tasty is an apple – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the cross sign between the circles of apple and tasty defined a relation of not. So, no tasty is an apple is a true conclusion.
So, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
