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 trucks are white – From the Venn diagram, there is no direct relation between white and truck. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
Some cars are white – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the two circles representing cars and white overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, this conclusion follows.

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