Correct Answer: Conclusion II follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All healthy people are sportsmen – From the Venn diagram, the circle of sportsmen is completely inside the circle of healthy. Therefore, some healthy people are sportsmen is correct but all healthy people are sportsmen is a false conclusion.
Conclusion (II): Sohan is healthy – From the Venn diagram, the circle that represents Sohan lies completely inside the circle that represents healthy. So, this conclusion follows.

Thus, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
