Correct Answer: Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some stars are ribbons – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the two circles representing stars and ribbons overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, it can be concluded that some stars are ribbons.
Conclusion II: Some ribbons are buttons – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing ribbons lie inside the circle representing buttons. So, it can be concluded that some ribbons are buttons.

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