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): Some animals are books – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle representing books is completely inside the circle representing animals. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): Some scissors are paper – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle representing paper is completely inside the circle representing scissors. So, this conclusion follows.

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