Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some weak are men – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing weak and men overlap and have some parts of their area in common. So, it can be concluded that some weak are men. Thus, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): All strong are men –
From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between strong and men. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III): Some strong are weak – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between strong and weak. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

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