Correct Answer: Both conclusions I and II follow


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

Let's analyze the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some elephants are tigers – From the Venn diagram, the circle of a tiger is completely inside the circle of the elephant. Therefore, this conclusion is true.
Conclusion (II): Some elephants are chimpanzees – From the Venn diagram, the circle of chimpanzees intersects with the circle of elephants and has a common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion is true.

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