PYQPulse · Answer

Explanation: The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows. Conclusions: I. All birds can be table → False (As only a few birds are tables, some birds are not tables as shown in the diagram, so all birds cannot be table). II. Some birds are chairs → False (As there is no definite relation between birds and chairs). Hence, neither conclusion I nor II follows. NOTE: 'Can be' means possible case.
