qImage66ed63c1f2382e3a62387c47Task Id 685 Daman (146)

Conclusions:

I. Some cards are woods - FALSE (Because some plastic is wood implies and all card is plastic, so some card is wood can be possible only)

II. No card is a wood - FALSE (Because, no definite relation is given between card and plastic, so can be possible only).

So, either conclusion I or II follows.

Hence the correct answer is "Option 4".
