Correct Answer: Only conclusion (I) is true


Solution : The possible Venn diagram for the according to the given statements –


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some guns are ships – According to the Venn diagram, some part of the circle representing guns intersects the circle representing ships. So, this conclusion follows.
