Correct Answer: Both 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): All trees are petals – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing trees is completely overlapped by the circle representing petals. Thus, it can be concluded that a ll trees are petals. Conclusion (II): Some petals are flowers – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing petals lie inside the circle representing flowers while some lie outside. Thus, it can be concluded that some petals are flowers.
So, both conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
