Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All pens are pencils – According to the Venn diagram, the circle of pens overlaps the circle of pencils. So, some pens are pencils is true but all pens are pencils is a false conclusion.
