Correct Answer: All of the conclusions follow


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

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some gardens are plants – From the Venn diagram, the circle of the garden intersects the circle of the garden and has a common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion is true.
Conclusion II: Some fruits are gardens – From the Venn diagram, the circle of fruits intersects the circle of gardens and has a common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion is true.
Conclusion III: Some gardens are flowers – From the Venn diagram, the circle of flowers is completely inside the circle of the garden. Therefore, this conclusion is true.

So, all the conclusions follow. Hence, the first option is correct.
