1. Draw the all possible venn diagram based on the given statements.
2. Now take the conclusion 1 and check with all diagrams. If it satisfies with all diagram we can say that conclusion 1 follows.
3. Now take the conclusion 2 and check with all diagrams. If it satisfies with all diagram we can say that conclusion 2 follows.
4. Based on the above 2 steps's results, choose the answer.
Hope this may help you. Have a nice day!
