Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram for the according to the given statements –



Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): No crane is a van – From the Venn diagram, it can be seen that there is no definite relation between a crane and a van. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some vans are mixers – From the Venn diagram, it can be seen that some part of the circle representing vans intersects the circle representing mixers. Therefore, this conclusion follows.

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