Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: All small are colour – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing small lie outside the circle representing colours while some lie inside. So, it can be concluded that some small are colours, not all.
Conclusion II: Some small are colour – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing small lie outside the circle representing colours while some lie inside. So, it can be concluded that some small are colours.
Conclusion III: All big are colour – In the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between the circles that represent big and colour. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

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