Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


Solution : According to the statements, the following Venn diagram can be drawn –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: All yellow are roses – From the above Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing yellow and roses overlap each other and have some parts of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some roses are yellow. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: Some buses are yellow – From the above Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing yellow and buses overlap each other and have some parts of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some buses are yellow. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion III: All yellow is green –  From the above Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing yellow and green overlap each other and have some parts of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some yellow are green. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.

So, only conclusion II follows according to the statements. Hence, the third option is correct.
