Statements:

II. Some aluminum are coppers.
Option 1: Only conclusion II follows
Option 2: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 3: Only conclusion I follows
Option 4: Both conclusions follow

Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Some aluminiums are irons – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing aluminiums lie inside the circle representing irons while some lie outside. Thus, it can be concluded that some aluminiums are irons.
Conclusion (II):
Some aluminiums are coppers – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing aluminiums lie inside the circle representing coppers while some lie outside. Thus, it can be concluded that some aluminiums are coppers.
