Correct Answer: Both Conclusions I and II follow


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


Let's analyze the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some funny are small – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing funny and small overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, it can be concluded that some funny are small.
Conclusion (II): Some small are kids – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing small lie inside the circle representing kids while some lie outside. Thus, it can be concluded that some small are kids.

So, both conclusions I and II follow. Hence, the second option is correct.
