Correct Answer: Both conclusion I and conclusion II follow


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some walls are pens – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circles representing walls and pens intersect and have some areas in common. So, some walls are pens is a true conclusion.
Conclusion (II): Some walls are glass – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle of glass is completely inside the circle of the wall. So, some walls are glass is a true conclusion.

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