Correct Answer: Both conclusions follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some cups are chairs – In the Venn diagram, the circles that represent cups and chairs intersect and have a common area between them. So, some cups are chairs is a true conclusion.
Conclusion II: Some chairs are tables – In the Venn diagram, some parts of the circle of chairs are inside the circle of the table and some parts lie outside the tables. Therefore, this conclusion is true.

So, both conclusions I and II follow is correct. Hence, the third option is correct.
