Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some F are P – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no definite relation between F and P. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: Some V are F – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing V and F overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, it can be concluded that some V are F.

So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
