Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows.
Solution : The possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions - Conclusions (I): Some astronomers are handsome – From the above diagram, it is clear that there is no relation between astronomers and handsome. So, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusions (II): No tall is an astronomer – From the above diagram, we can see that the relation of no is given between astronomer and tall. So, this conclusion follows.
So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
