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 Clocks are Hands – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing clocks and hands intersect and have a part of their area in common. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): Some Fingers are Clocks – From the Venn diagram, we can see that there is no definite relation between fingers and clocks. So, this conclusion does not follow.

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