Correct Answer: Only conclusion (II) follows


Solution : According to the given statements, the following Venn diagram can be drawn –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some bags are keys – From the above Venn diagram and the given statements, there is no direct relation between bags and keys. Therefore, this conclusion doesn't follow.

So, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
