Correct Answer: Only conclusions II and III follow
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: Some jams are seeds – From, the above diagram, it is evident that there is no direct relation between jams and seeds. So, no definite relation can be drawn from it. Thus, this conclusion does not follow. Conclusion II: Some desserts are jams – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing desserts lie inside the circle representing jams while some lie outside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some desserts are jams. Thus, this conclusion follows. Conclusion III: Some fruits are desserts – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing fruits and desserts overlap and have a part of their areas in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some fruits are jams. Thus, this conclusion follows.
Therefore, only conclusions II and III follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
