Correct Answer: Only conclusion (II) follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I):
Some Ducks are Eggs – From the Venn diagram, there is no direct relation between ducks and eggs. Thus, no definite relation can be drawn. So, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II):
Some Chickens are Omelettes – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the two circles representing chickens and omelettes overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, this conclusion follows.

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