Conclusion I : Some watermelon are figs. Conclusion II : No figs are watermelon. Correct Answer Only conclusion I follows
The last possible Venn Diagram for the given data:
Conclusions:
I. Some watermelon are figs → True (As some dates are figs and all dates are watermelon, implies, some watermelon are figs.)
II. No figs are watermelon → False (As Some dates are figs and all dates are watermelon, implies, some watermelon are figs.)
Hence, "only conclusion I follows".

Negative Type of conclusion = No and Some not.
