Correct Answer: Conclusion I follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All dogs are goats – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle that represents dogs lies completely inside the circle that represents goats. This means that all the dogs are goats. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): All goats are dogs – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle of dogs completely lies inside the circle of goats, implying that some goats are dogs. So, this conclusion does not follow.

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