Correct Answer: All conclusions follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some sweets are cookies – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that the circle of sweets and cookies intersect and have some common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): Some cookies are chocolates – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that some part of the cookies lies inside the circle of chocolates and some lie outside. Therefore, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (III): Some chocolates are sweets – From the Venn diagram, it is clear that the circle of sweets and chocolates intersect and have some common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion follows.

Therefore, all conclusions follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
