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


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: All potatoes are snacks – From the above diagram, it is clear that there is a direct relation between potatoes and snacks, as the circle that represents potatoes completely lies inside the circle that represents snacks. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion II: Some snacks are chips – From the above diagram, it is clear that there is a direct relation between snacks and chips, as two circles representing chips and snacks intersect and have a part of their area in common. Therefore, this conclusion follows.

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