Correct Answer: All conclusions I, II and III follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some cars are vans – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing cars and vans intersect and have a common area between them. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): Some vans are buses – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing vans and buses intersect and have a common area between them. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (III): Some vans are motorbikes – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle representing motorbikes is completely inside the circle representing vans. So, some vans are motorbikes is a true conclusion.

So, all conclusions I, II, and III follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
