Correct Answer: Only conclusions I and IV follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): All parrots are swans – From the given Venn diagram, the circle of parrots is completely inside the circle of swans. Therefore, this conclusion is true.
Conclusion (II): All swans are crows – From the given Venn diagram, the circle of crows is completely inside the circle of swans. So, this means all crows are swans or some swans are crows. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion (III): All robins are parrots – From the given Venn diagram, the circle of parrots is completely inside the circle of robbins. This means all parrots are robins or some robins are parrots. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion (IV): All crows are swans – From the given Venn diagram, the circle of crows is completely inside the circle of swans. Therefore, this conclusion is true.

So, only conclusions I and IV follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
