Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
All tasks can never be duties – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some tasks are jobs and no job is a duty. So, the tasks that are part of jobs cannot be duties. So, all tasks can never be duties. Thus, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II):
Some tasks are duties – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between tasks and duties. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, only the conclusion I follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
