Given:
The possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Some Ants are Cats – From the above diagram, it is clear that some bats are cats but no relation between ants and cats is given. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (II):
All Bats can never be Cats – From the above diagram, it is clear that some bats are cats. Therefore, all bats can never be cats, which is not possible because some bats are cats are already shown in the figure. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
So, neither I nor II conclusion follows. Hence, the
first option
