Correct Answer: Both conclusions follow


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some rats are ants – From the given Venn diagram, the circle of the rat is intersected by the circle of ants and has a common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion is true.
Conclusion (I): Some ants are mats – From the given Venn diagram, the circle of the mat is completely inside the circle of ants. Therefore, this conclusion is true.

So, both conclusions follow. Hence, the first option is correct.
