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

Let's analyze the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some biscuits are cakes – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing biscuits and cakes overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, it can be concluded that some biscuits are cakes.
