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 movies are bottles – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing movies lies inside the circle representing bottles. Since all movies are bottles, some movies will definitely be bottles. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion II: Some cupboards are steel – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing the cupboard lie inside the circle representing steel. So, it can be concluded that some cupboards are steel.

From the above, both conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
