Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyze the conclusions – Conclusion (I): It is possible for some atoms to be elements – It is a possibility that the circles representing atoms and elements overlap. But this is not definite. Thus, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (II): Some elements are molecules – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between elements and molecules. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
