Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


Solution : According to the given statements the venn diagram is given below –


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some E are not S – From the above diagram, it is shown that all S are E or some E are S but it's not mentioned that some E are not S and we can't follow a negative conclusion from the positive statement. So, this conclusion doesn't follow.
Conclusion (II): Some H are S – From the above diagram, it is shown that circles of S and H overlap which means H and S are part of each other. So, this conclusion follows.

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