Correct Answer: Only Conclusion III follows


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some Bangles are Rings – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between bangles and rings. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some Chains are Bangles – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between chains and bangles. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (III): Some Rings are Bracelets – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the two circles representing rings and bracelets overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some rings are bracelets. Thus, this conclusion follows.

So, the only conclusion III follows. Hence, the first option is correct.
