Correct Answer: All conclusions follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some advocates are women – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circles representing advocates and women intersect and have some areas in common. So, some advocates are women. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): Some hardworking are women – From the Venn diagram, the circle of women is completely inside the circle of hardworking. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (III): Some women are advocates – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circles representing advocates and women intersect and have some areas in common. So, some women are advocates. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (IV): Some hardworking are intelligent – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circles representing hardworking and intelligent intersect each other and have some areas in common. So, some hardworking are intelligent. Therefore, this conclusion follows.

So, all conclusions follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
