Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some leaves are grapes – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing leaves and grapes overlap each other and have a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some leaves are grapes. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): All grapes are fruits – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing fruits and grapes overlap each other and have a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some grapes are fruits. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
