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): All folders are rubbers – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing folders lie outside the circle representing rubbers while some lie inside. Therefore, some folders are rubbers is true, but all folders are rubbers is a false conclusion.
Conclusion (II): Some computers are folders – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the two circles representing folders and computers intersect and have some common area between them. So, this conclusion follows.

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