Correct answer
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Why this answer is correct
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is:
(I) No Apples are Oranges - Doesn't follows
(Their is no direct relation between apples and oranges; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false)
(II) Some Oranges are Apples - Doesn't follows
(Their is no direct relation between apples and oranges; maybe it is possible but not definite. Hence, it is false.)
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Hence, the correct answer is " Option 2"
