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 books are clips – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing books and clips overlap each other and have a part of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some books are clip. Thus, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion II: No Rock is a book – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing books and rocks overlap each other and have a part of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some rocks are books. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

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