Some needles are tables.

No needle is a bin.

The Venn diagram as per the given statements:

F1 Gen Intelligence   Priya 19 6 24  D10

Conclusions:

I. No table is a bin.  Not follow (Because there is no direct relation between Bin and Tables, so it can be possible but not definitely true)

II. Some pins are tables. Not follow (Because there is no direct relation between Pins and Tables, so it can be possible but not definitely true)

Hence, the correct answer is "Neither conclusion I nor II follows".
