Correct Answer: Only conclusions I and II follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some cars are cycles – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circles representing cars and cycles intersect and have a part of their area in common. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (II): Some cycles are trucks – From the Venn diagram, we can see that the circle representing trucks is completely inside the circle representing cycles. So, this conclusion follows.
Conclusion (III): Some bikes are trucks – From the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between bikes and trucks. So, this conclusion does not follow.

So, only conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the third option is correct.
