Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is –
Let us analyse the conclusions one by one – Conclusion I: Some pens are pencils – It is a possibility that the circles representing pen and pencils overlap and have a part of their area in common. But this is not definite. Thus, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion II: All pencils are pens – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that all papers are pencils and no paper is pen. Thus, all pencils cannot be paper. So, this conclusion does not follow.
So, neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
