Yeah I'm going with @Ramakhanna. Only conclusion 2 is right. But the option is not there.

Only option 2 is correct. No pen is jeep holds true.

From second figure the second option is also false. So A is the only answer.

The answer is A.
If you consider first diagram then your answer will be 2nd conclusion and it is not given in the options.
But if you consider the second diagram and derive conclusions you will get answer as C.
The answer is A, because we have to apply the conclusions on both (all the possible diagrams) diagrams.
So, if we consider first diagram we will get 2nd conclusion satisfied, then apply the second conclusion on second diagram there it fails. Hence no conclusion satisfies. Therefore Answer is A.

Guys, Is it true that we should see the minimum overlapping Venn diagram for a given question? i.e. is the 1st Venn diagram over here.

Is this a rule that the negative conclusion should be false every time?
Bhargav said:

According to me, the conclusion only correct.

Definitely option C correct. Even from the Venn diagram, it is evident that option C is correct. Rest is all misleading.
