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):
Some grapes are mangoes – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the two circles representing grapes and mangoes overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II):
No grape is a pear – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between grapes and pears. Thus, no definite relation can be drawn. So, this conclusion does not follow.

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