Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Some G is A – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing G lie inside the circle representing A while some lie outside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some G is A. Thus, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II):
Some G is M – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing G and M overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some G is M. Thus, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (III):
All M is A – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between A and M. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, the conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
