Correct Answer: Both conclusions (I) and (II) follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some houses are shoes – From the above diagram, it can be seen that the circle representing shoes intersect the circle representing houses and has some common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion II: Some feet are boxes – From the above diagram, it can be seen that the circle representing feet intersect the circle representing boxes and has some common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion follows.

Therefore, both conclusions (I) and (II) follow. Hence, the third option is correct.
