Solution : According to the statements, the following diagram can be drawn –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some soaps are bottles – From the above diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between bottles and soap. So, no definite relation can be drawn between them. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion II: Some buckets are bottles – From the above diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between bottles and buckets. So, no definite relation can be drawn between them. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion III: Some soaps are containers – From the above diagram, it is evident that the circles representing soap and containers overlap each other and have a part of their areas in common. So, this conclusion follows.
Therefore, only conclusion III follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
