Correct Answer: Both conclusions I and II follow
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): Some pillows are beds – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing pillows lie inside the circle representing beds while some lie outside. Thus, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (II): No bed is a blanket – As all beds are pillows and no pillow is a blanket. So, no bed will be a blanket. Thus, this conclusion follows.
So, both conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the third option is correct.
