Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All bottles are cups – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing bottles is completely overlapped by the circle representing cups. Thus, it can be concluded that all bottles are cups.
Conclusion (II): All cups are bottles – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing cups lie inside the circle representing bottles while some lie outside. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.

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