Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


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


Let's analyze the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some houses are cages – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing houses and cages overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, it can be concluded that some houses are cages.
Conclusion (II): All rooms are enclosures – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no definite relation between rooms and enclosures. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

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