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): All almonds are dates – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between dates and almonds. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion (II): All dates are raisins – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing dates completely lies inside the circle representing raisins. So, from this, it can be concluded that dates are raisins. Thus, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (III): No cashew is an almond – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between cashews and almonds. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
