Correct Answer: Only Conclusion II follows


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

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

So, only Conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
