Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows


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


Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: No bird is a toy – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing birds and toys overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion II: Some toys are birds – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing birds and toys overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, it can be concluded that some toys are birds.

So, the only conclusion II follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
