Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


Solution : As per the given information, let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Hari is not a monkey – Based on the given statements, Hari is a man, and no man is a monkey. Therefore, from this, it can be concluded that Hari is not a monkey. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion ( II): All men are not Hari – Based on the given statements, Hari is a man. It only provides information about Hari being a man. It doesn't make any assertion about all other men. Thus, it doesn't conclude that all men are not Hari. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

So, only Conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
