Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): Some apples are mangoes – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing apples and mangoes overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, from this, it can be concluded that some apples are mangoes. Thus, this conclusion follows. Conclusion (II): All mangoes are fruits – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing mangoes lie inside the circle representing fruits while some lie outside. So, from this, it can be concluded that some mangoes are fruits. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the third option is correct.
