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 tigers are cats – From the Venn diagram, there is no definite relation between tigers and cats. Therefore, this conclusion is false. Conclusion (II): Some tigers are dogs – From the Venn diagram, the circle of the dog intersects with the circle of the tiger and has a common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion is true. Conclusion (III): Some rats are dogs – From the Venn diagram, the circle of the dog intersects the circle of the rat and has a common area between them. Therefore, this conclusion is true.
So, only conclusions II and III follow. Hence, the first option is correct.
